She was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Stewart of Loveland, her father David Franklin Seaman, brother David Wayne Seaman, and sister Bonnie Seaman. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother. Her Christian walk drove her to serve others according to the skills and gifts God had given her. Lee was always known as a generous host, and loved having others in her home for a hearty meal.

Following her husband, Jim's, death, Lee became involved in the Colorado Association of Hospital Auxilians and Volunteers (CAHAV), and was honored for the massive volume of hours logged in volunteering at Loveland's McKee Medical Center.
