Lee was born October 16, 1935 in New York, New York, daughter of the late Lawrence Schonberg and Irma Jewel Watkins. She was Chief Operating Officer with Triad Design Service. Lee attended Bethel United Methodist Church.
Lee began her professional life as a radiology technician and transitioned into a long career as a real estate broker. She joined her husband's business, Triad Design Service, as Chief Operating Officer.
