Lee grew up in Binghamton where she met her future husband Larry in kindergarten.

They were together for 84 years and married for 67! She grew up as the daughter of immigrants during the Great Depression. With her Dad and sisters Nellie and Ida, she helped in the family produce business, there learning the value of hard work.

As a girl, she was an exceptional student and athlete. Married at age 21, she was a loving wife and mother to her 3 children. At age 45 she embarked on a successful career as a real estate broker and retired at age 90.

Lee was totally devoted to her husband Larry, caring for him especially during his final years.

She had incredible energy, a ready smile and was always kind and helpful to family and friends.

She was loved by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and she will be greatly missed.
