Mary Lee was a vivacious and beautiful lady. She was always pristinely dressed from head to toe and loved jewelry, accessories and, of course, her lipstick. To the delight of her nieces and nephews, she made countless old-fashioned pound cakes for birthdays and special events. She made the absolute best garlic dill pickles and homemade vegetable soup. A positive, delightful, beacon of light in her church and community. Mary Lee was steadfast in her faith and commitment to her Lord and Savior. Her role as a mother was precious to her; and her family was her pride and joy. To know Mary Lee, was to know an angel. What an example she has been to us.
