This is where her grandchildren, Matthew and Christopher brought their baseball teams in for free ice cream after every win. You could always find Lee in the kitchen. She loved baking and cooking. There were always smells of food coming from her house. She was famous for starting food fights with all her friends when she made cream puffs. Besides spending time at her grandson’s baseball games and wrestling matches, she loved to go on cruises to see different islands, walking the Jersey shore boardwalk, and playing the one arm bandit. Lee also enjoyed going to the shore boating and crabbing with her family. She enjoyed visits with people, but you couldn’t leave without having coffee and one or more of her homemade treats.
