My memory of Lee started at Fellowships of the Spirit while we were learning to be Spiritualist Ministers sharing housing and many classes together. After graduation, we intermittently remained in contact. I had high regards for her abilities.
Peace and blessings to the family and friends

My sincere condolences. Please know that Lee shared her passion for nutrition and it´s importance when I was a new nurse. I am sure Lee is remembered for her nutrition teaching by the countless nurses she has impacted over her career.

My condolences to Lee's family. I worked at Upstate with her for years. She would always come to me to make slides, in Spanish, for her talks! This was long before digital media. I enjoyed talking with her about her travels. May she rest in peace.
