Patricia Ann Lee
Patricia Ann Lee passed away peacefully on September 23, 2013. A Seattle native, Patty was born on July 30, 1930, and lived most of her 83 years in the Emerald City. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Childhood Education, she married the love of her life, Bob Lee. They enjoyed 46 years of marriage until his passing in 2002. Patty was a dedicated wife and mother who created a welcoming home for her children and grandchildren. She was a masterful storyteller and she leaves us with fond memories of black cats, dark forests, and the magical nature of wardrobes. Patty had a deep Christian faith which she passed on to her family and sustains them as they grieve her passing. She is survived by her son Rick Lee, daughter Tricia Hyland (Dwight), and granddaughters Margot and Bridget Hyland, along with her sister, Carol Rodolf, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial will be conducted on October 11, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at Bayview Manor, 11 West Aloha St., Seattle. Carpooling is encouraged. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Queen Anne Presbyterian Church, The Salvation Army, or the Union Gospel Mission.

Patty and Bob Lee were my next door neighbors for twenty years. I never met more lovely and gracious people. My husband loved his classical music played LOUD and Patty and Bob, instead of complaining, enjoyed it with him. What a gift! They laughed as my Jack Russell terrier, Darcy, barked through
the window as they walked down the street or jumped up on them with dirty
feet. Patty introduced me to Swanson's Nursery and various restaurants nearby. She shared books with my husband. When Darcy amazingly passed obedience training Patty bought her a treat and included a congratulatory note (which I still have). I'll always
remember Patty Lee with her smiling face, no matter how she felt, a warm hug and lots of over-the-fence chats about gardening, grandchildren and cruises to Alaska.
