Lee met and married the love of her life, Pete Pierce, both of them at a young age and after he had just joined Delta Airlines as a Pilot. While raising their three children, she worked as a model for Kim Dawson Agency for a number of years before deciding to go back to college to get her degree in Horticulture and Landscape Design. She worked with Pete, in his second business, as a high-end builder in the Park Cities. Lee designed the landscapes for the houses he built, and they shortly became a very successful team.

As time went on, Lee found her additional talent for painting and sculpting and was able to grow her business into a highly sought after commodity. She loved to paint and her paintings showed an inner talent that surpassed many. Lee and Pete owned several vacation homes in Carmel, CA where Pete played Golf and another in Durango, CO. Where Pete became an avid fly fisherman. In all the homes they shared, Lee was able show off her decorating skills and paint more paintings to occupy the walls. Not to mention the beautiful gardens she created, no matter where they resided.

People that knew her, constantly sang her praises as to how beautiful, smart and talented she was. Also, she had a unique sense of humor that would keep us laughing endlessly.

 

It has been almost four years since we lost our Dad to COVID. Mom has missed him every moment since. Since the decline in her health it has caused her to slowly become non-verbal, which made life for her unbearable.

 

On Friday, November 21, 2025 during the quiet of the morning, God had mercy on her soul and reunited her with Pete once again.

 

Soar high with the angels, sweet mother of ours. We will miss you, always.
