She was a long-time member of Altrusa and an active member of First United Methodist Church. Lee served on the Curriculum Committee of the Oak Ridge Institute for Continued Learning (ORICL), where she also taught conversational German.
She always contributed generously to many volunteer activities. Her great passion was the sport of tennis, which she played several times a week until recently. Lee loved Oak Ridge very much and promoted her city in many endeavors.
