Emily Grape Obituary
She is survived by her three sons Eric, Sean (Linda), and Steven (Katrina), her five grandchildren Thomas, Ian, Kelsey, Hannah, and Laura, her sister Josephine, brother Joe (Barbara) and niece Hillary.
Lee was born in Rochester and was a schoolteacher for the Hilton School District. She loved hosting the family for holiday dinners & birthdays. Lee enjoyed gardening, travel, attending theatre shows with girlfriends, and spending time at "her floating cottage"–the family sailboat. She was a longtime member of Brockport Yacht Club. Her warm personality and readily available laughter will be missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, friends are invited to donate to the charity of their choice or to the Brockport Yacht Club.

I worked with Lee at Merton Williams Jr High for many years and was so thankful to know this wonderful woman. She was always kind, hard working and thoughtful. The students loved her calm but effective ways. Lee always invited us sailing every summer at the BYC and we have so many fond memories of sails with her and Tom over the years. Since her retirement , we always had lunch together to celebrate her birthday or mine. My heart goes out to her family. How she loved them all and whenever we got together we would have an update in Steven, Eric and Sean and their families. My heart is with you all!
