Mrs. Lee was born in Marshall County, TN to Mary Frank and Earl Sanders on Nov. 12, 1925.

He worked as an attorney in private practice in Pulaski, TN for 36 years. She was a beautiful, kind, gracious lady. She enjoyed walking indoors so her hair wouldn’t blow, dressing impeccably and collecting fine jewelry. She adored her daughter, Linda and held her grandsons in dear regard.
