On June 15, 1950, Lee was united in marriage to John "Jack" Lee Fraseur in Wellsburg, Iowa. Together, they had three sons, Randy, Brent and David; and a daughter, Amy.

She was proud to serve her community and was actively involved in Tipton life. Lee was a member of the Tipton United Methodist Church, the Athenaeum, Nineteenth Century Club, and the United Methodist Women. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt.

Skola and Brandon and Vanessa Fraseur; and great-grandchildren, Connor and Cooper Boeve, Eviana and Remy Skola and Emmett Summers.
