She was a dedicated member of The Mount Calvary United Methodist Church, which became a second family to her.
Mary Lee loved dancing, motorcycle riding, lounging at the swimming pool and socializing with her friends. Her favorite time of year was fall when she loved to play in the leaves with her grandchildren.
