She was an amazing woman... all who knew her grew from her teachings and insight.

Lee was an inspiration to all of us at Project Read-Menlo Park. She had such a positive impact on our program, the learners she tutored, other tutors and our staff. I feel privileged to have known her.

Lee was such an amazing person: brilliant and compassionate. She lived in an apartment below my parents and was part of their lives for 50 plus years. Both my parents loved and admired her. She worked with my Dad at SRI and he thought she was one of the brightest, most remarkable women he had the privilege of working with. The other one was Jean Nelson, her lifelong companion. When my parents were ailing and much diminished, both Lee and Jean were their champions. My sisters and I considered them favorite aunties, role models and treasured friends. Such a loss to all who loved her and the community at large.

It is hard to add to my sister's comments about Lee and Jean.
Lee is an inspiration of someone that gave back to her community with her volunteer work. She will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

West Bay Opera - Palo Alto. As an opera lover, Lee devoted untold hours for several years as a volunteer for West Bay Opera's school program. WBO brings an abbreviated version of an opera into elementary schools throughout the Bay Area. The program is appropriate for little children and includes some students in the performance. Lee was dedicated to helping with the many details required in scheduling the schools and in the final coordination to be sure the program would be a success. She helped to bring the joy of opera to many thousands of students.
