Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Lee's dedication to us little girl scouts who wanted to be outdoors when it wasn't always acceptable really helped us to become the women we are today. Every weekend she would take a station wagon load full of us on some sort of outdoor trip, hike, or canoe trip. She always kept everything affordable as she helped us make our packpacks & sleeping bags. And who could forget our $2 tube tents.

Even after I was married and living not far from Camp May Flather, I saw her...

What an extraordinary life and what an incredible legacy Ms. Lee has left in the form of the entire Lee family -- 19 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren. Fantastic! God rest her soul. Blair et al, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My thoughts will be with all of you, though I know her presence remains within you.

Rarely do you find person as outstanding and giving as your mother. We shared an interest in the out of doors, particularly canoeing and both had racks of canoes at our homes. Mimi was a mentor and teacher to me and highly respected. She left a strong example and a life well lived. You can be so proud of her integrity and accomplishments. Love to all of you.

What an amazing woman. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Ms. Lee, but the world was a better place with her in it.

Dear Lee Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all.

Mimi was always so kind to me and ever so encouraging. It was a pleasure to be with her.

She did so much for everyone and had a wonderful life.

With affection, Ethelee Hewitt Nalls

To the Lee Family: Thank you for sharing the gift of your mother with all Marylanders. She was a remarkable woman and leaves a remarkable legacy. Our goal is always to leave the planet a better place. In your mother's case, mission accomplished.

When i was a Girl Scout in the 1970's she taught me canoeing and lifesaving. Any time I see a car pulling canoes I always think of Mrs. Lee. i am sorry to hear of her death. She was a great teacher and leader. I will never forget when my girl scout troup was invited to the Governor's Mansion for a Christmas Party. Thanks for everything mrs. Lee.
