Lee's Life and Legacy

Born on March 12, 1951, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Lee was the youngest of six children to a family of modest means.

She married her high school sweetheart, James, and together they built a life in Topton, where they raised three beautiful children.

Lee's charitable work in Topton began in the 1980s, when she started volunteering at the local hospital, assisting with food drives and blood donation programs. As her involvement grew, so did her reputation as a pillar of the community. Her passion for philanthropy and community service led her to co-found the Topton Food Bank, which would go on to become a cornerstone of the town's food assistance programs.

As the proud mother of three grown children, Lee juggled her family responsibilities with her volunteer work, often inspiring her children to follow in her footsteps.
