Homemaker. Owned my own Machine quilting business for 25 years. I have two daughters, Angie and Kathy, 4 grandkids, 4 great grandkids, and 1 great great grandson. I have outlived 2 husbands, losing the most recent in 2013. I bowled league up until 2014 when I had to have surgery. I still enjoy going to the bowling alley and visiting with friends and encouraging them in their game. I have enjoyed many crafts over the years including quilting, machine embroidery, sewing, crotcheting, knitting, needlepoint and various others. I get my greatest joy in making things for my family and friends. |

Spouse: Jerry Lee ('58) Children: 2 Daughters Grandchildren: 1 Granddaughter and 1 Grandson Activities/Hobbies: Golf & Gardening I am proud to say I am a 1959 graduate of the great Wa-Hi with even greater classmates. Many I have remained close to and have the pleasure of calling them today’s friends. I always have warm feelings for Walla Walla, and I am proud of the progressive town it has become. After graduation I moved to Seattle to attend Cabrini School of Nursing and Seattle University. After two years I realized nursing was not my calling, but my long time love, Jerry Lee, was! We were married in 1961 and have just celebrated our 48th Anniversary. We lived and raised our two daughters in Issaquah, Washington. Jerry was an Aeronautical Engineer with Boeing Co. for 34 years and is now retired. We have two daughters; Deborah 47 and Jennifer 45 and two Grandchildren; Fiona 11 and Connor 6. In 1973 I went back to college and achieved a degree in the field of Interior Design. After some 20 years working in Design I have retired. Jerry and I moved to Kent, Washington in 1994 and now live at the Meridian Valley Golf Course. Yes, we spend way too much time with that silly stick in our hand! We have had the pleasure of travel both inside and outside of this great country, but mostly we love being home golfing and enjoying our friends and family. I look forward to our reunion and visiting with all of my Wa-Hi classmates. See you there!!
