She was a member of Fairmont Baptist Church for many years and she enjoyed singing and had a beautiful soprano voice. She was a gifted seamstress, sewing many of her family's clothes. She was a voracious reader. Mary Lee was an amazing Mother, Wife and Friend. She had a great sense of humor and she always had a very sharp mind. She will be missed by all.
