Frances S. Lee was born on January 27, 1916, to George and Bessie (Justra) Steckel in rural Letcher. She lived on the family farm northeast of Letcher with her parents and siblings. She attended Steckl School for seven years, graduated from Mitchell High School in 1933, and attended Nettleton Commercial College in Sioux Falls. She was employed at Automotive Supply and then moved to Richland, Wash., where she did medical transcription for several doctors at Kadlec Hospital.
Frances married Ray Lee on June 26, 1959, in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. He was a mechanic and they had their own business in which she was the bookkeeper and “gofer.”
They retired and moved to Chandler, Ariz., where they enjoyed their friends and neighbors and also the warm weather. In the summer, they camped in the mountains of Arizona or headed north to visit family and friends. She enjoyed knitting, especially dish cloths, playing bingo and pinochle and emailing friends and family.
