She raised their children and had a career in home health care with Community Health Partnership prior to her illness. She loved to hear the sound of loons, collected bells and angels, enjoyed cooking up a storm and being with family and friends. She had a weakness for dark chocolate and shopping for others. Lee Ann loved animals and spoiled her pets, Serena and Karma. She made us all feel loved.
