Thus, starting the amazing tradition of each of her children getting the opportunity to grow up on a horse farm. She was still riding horses three years ago until her health no longer allowed her to do so. Lee loved her family and that of course included her quarter horse, Abby and her pride and joy, her cat, Winnie. Lee was a strong, kind and loving stay at home mom, raising her 6 wonderful children.
