Lee shared her faith through kindness, compassion, and an unyielding trust in God's plan. She was a dedicated member of Western Heights Church of Christ while residing in Sherman, Texas, and later became a member of Legacy Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, Texas, until her passing. Lee loved spending time with her beautiful family and friends. She was a charismatic social butterfly, who never met a stranger. Lee had the ability to make everyone around her feel special. She was always one of the last to leave social gatherings, because she wanted to visit with as many people as possible.
