Lee grew up in Danville, PA and graduated from Danville High School in 1965. She was on the Honor Society all three years of high school. While growing up in Danville, Lee was a member of the Danville Boys and Girls Marching Band. She began as the band's mascot, then became a majorette, and eventually the head majorette leading the band on their many parades in the towns around Danville and beyond. Her twirling skills earned her a first-place trophy in a contest in Elysburg in 1962.
After her high school graduation, she enrolled at Bloomsburg State College and earned a degree in elementary education in 1969.

In 1976 they purchased a house on Laurelwood Road in North Coventry Township, Chester County and lived there for over 40 years raising two sons, Adam and Ryan. Lee was a wonderful and devoted mother to her two sons, and a loving wife to her husband. She gave a great deal of her time helping care for the kitties at Cat Angel Network adoption shelter, in addition to the many cats she gave a forever home to. Her bed buddy Harry was with her to the end and will miss her greatly.
