Publish in a newspaper
Born on April 3 in Ocean City, New Jersey, Lee was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. She lived a life grounded in deep faith in Jesus, marked by a vibrant personality, unwavering generosity, and genuine compassion for others. Always ready to lend a helping hand, Lee touched countless lives with her kindness and strength.
Lee graduated from Goldey-Beacom College with a bachelor's degree in Business Management and built a successful career as Senior Vice President at Artisans Bank. On July 12, 1980, she married the love of her life, Jeffery Connor. Together, they raised two children, Michael and Elizabeth, who brought her immeasurable pride and joy. She loved her family wholeheartedly and found deep fulfillment in watching her children grow into the people they are today. A firm believer in purpose and faith, Lee often reminded her loved ones: "Listen to God and follow your dreams."
Lee was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her beloved husband, Jeffery; her children, Michael and Elizabeth; and her cherished grandchildren, Paige, Kendall, and Harper. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
