WHEREAS, her six (6) children are honored to describe her as the virtuous woman described in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible, who took time to share with them the lessons of daily living and the accomplishment of daily tasks. Her children draw inspiration and power from her prudence and wise counsel flowing out from her rich experiences in life;

WHEREAS, two years ago Mrs. Lee faced the uncertainties of colon cancer, but survived its complications with her firm faith in God. She stood as a witness of God’s goodness and returned her borrowed life to her Creator with a legacy of service that touched peoples’ lives and peace;
