Lee was always an attractive lady. She was a bit shy, but always active in the behind-the-scenes activities of her Catholic faith and in her community of Montegut with Chabbie as her hero leading the way. She was a religion teacher, seamstress, artist and bookkeeper. Lee and Chabbie designed and made the first South Terrebonne High School Gator mascot costume. She was a loving mother and friend to all as she and Chabbie helped Montegut grow into an incredible community. She was always ready to offer support and help, leaving a beautiful example for her daughters and loving family to follow.

Lee and Chabbie traveled the entire United States in an RV, toured Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the British Isles, Europe and the Caribbean. As their age and health-related challenges limited their activities, Lee and Chabbie moved to Baton Rouge to be near family. She lived a full Catholic Christian life and her earthly presence will be missed.
