Frances was an active and devoted member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, where her faith and fellowship were an important part of her life. She loved teaching Sunday school and singing in the church choir. A deeply spiritual woman, Frances loved her Lord Jesus and lived her life with faith and devotion.
Frances enjoyed sewing and especially loved making dresses for her grandchildren. She also had a special love for cats and lovingly cared for them, whether they were her own indoor cats or neighborhood cats in need of attention. She found joy in feeding and watching the birds from her window or while sitting outside in her favorite chair beneath her shade tree.
Above all, Frances dearly loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and always did what she could for them. She also shared a deep and lasting love for her beloved husband, James, and looked forward to the day she would be reunited with him in heaven.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph B. McDaniel and Geneva Griffin McDaniel; her brother, Joseph B. "Brownie" McDaniel; her beloved husband, James R. Lee Sr.; and her son, Joseph Davis Lee.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Ronnie Lee (Debbie) and Lauri Nepil (Garret); her grandchildren, Amanda Mayo, Amber Larue, Storm Kwiatkowski, Sarah White, and Emily White; and her great-grandchildren, Joseph Martin, Avery Larue, Aleister Desilva, Sebastyen Desilva, Lucy Kwiatkowski, Kylee Litton, Trinity Litton, and Luka Hubbard.
