Her memory will forever be cherished by her son, Chuck Lee (Lilli) of Crystal Springs; two daughters, Lynette Martin of Seekonk, Massachusetts and Diann Fitzhugh (Danny) of Terry; one sister, Nell Martin of Pearl.  The legacy of their Granny will also live on through her six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
