After her marriage to Chuck, Lee lived in NY state, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Illinois and spent 8 ½ years overseas in Croydon, England prior to returning to her hometown of Stamford, CT in 1981. While in England she was introduced to several breeds of dogs that initiated a passion with her husband for showing and breeding purebreds. They fell in love with the West Highland White Terrier. Through her love and passion for the breed Lee met people from all over the country with the same passion forming a network of close friends. Lee was a founding member of the West Highland White Terrier Society of Connecticut and served on numerous committees on the National Westie club as well as performing many duties such as organizing annual fundraising auctions and contributing to the Westie Imprint magazine and monthly e-newsletter. In addition to her love of breeding and showing Westies, Lee worked for several years as a floral designer with her brother Richard at Latham’s Florist in Stamford and was a member of the daughters of the American Revolution. Lee also developed lasting friendships with many of the clients for whom she groomed their Westies on a regular basis. Lee had a passion for needlepoint, her beloved New York Mets, summers on Cape Cod and her seven grandchildren who she simply adored. Lee will be immensely missed by all who knew and loved her. She exuded empathy, had a dry wit and an open heart to all who came into her life.
