Lee was a homemaker for her family in earlier years. After graduating from Catawba College with a degree in education, she taught at Cleveland Elementary School. She had a heart for ministry to children. She had good news clubs on the weekends in her early years, ministered to her grandchildren and went on to mission trips in the Ukraine where she taught art and exemplified the love of Christ to the orphans there. Lee was a devout follower of Christ and she absolutely adored her grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to witness God’s love. Her Entire life, she loved kids. She will be dearly missed.

Lee is survived by her daughter, Susan Winecoff and husband, Todd of Salisbury, seven grandchildren, Jesse Lee, Krista Marie, Joshua Michael, Daniel Keith, Caleb Wayne, David Chase, Nathaniel Todd and her sister-in-law Joni Dawson, as well as six nieces and four nephews.
