She married Hank and they moved from McClusky to Jamestown, North Dakota and then to Florida. They later moved back to McClusky, where Lee worked for 30 years in the McClusky Bank. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in McClusky. After retiring, Lee wintered in Arizona. She spent her final years in West Fargo and then Detroit Lakes.
