on October 15, 2018 at the age of 98. Lee married her husband Lt.
Col. (Ret.) Robert L. Vance on October 11, 1942 and was a model
officer's wife in every sense of the meaning, proudly supporting her
husband during his military career. After his retirement in 1966,
they settled into civilian life in New Braunfels, Texas. She
volunteered for several organizations around town and they traveled the
country in their prized R.V. In the summer of 1999 they decided
to move to Sherman, Texas to be closer to their daughter and
grandchildren. She spent her last few years living at Pecan Point
Assisted Living in Sherman.
