She was a staunch advocate for education and introducing her loved ones to an expanded world through summer retreats, camping, hiking, nature, and expeditions. She was a pilot and flew her Cessna with her children to Mexico, Panama, and Fort Cobb on wonderful adventures. She was a world traveler including numerous trips with Earth Watch. Laura Lee loved to Kayak with the OKC Kayak Club and take trips in her vintage camper with Sisters on the Fly and The Getaway Gals where she met some of the most wonderful people.

She was an absolute joy to be around and loved life. Her red hats and her beautiful smile will be missed more than can ever be expressed.
