Deloris Lorraine Lee was born on September 28, 1930 to John and Frances (Farnum) Lee in Bismarck, ND.  Dee graduated from Bismarck High School.  On December 5, 1948 she married Daniel Paul and they celebrated 60 years together.  To this union five children were born; Patty, Kathy, Jeanie, Lori, and Danny.

Dan and Dee lived in Bismarck, ND, Miles City, MT, Phoenix, AZ, O'Neill, NE, Garretson, SD, and back to Miles City where Dan retired from the Bureau of Reclamation.  After Dan retired, Dee decided she wanted to work out of the home doing painting at the Olive Hotel and Lounge, which she loved doing.  Dee enjoyed tending her flowers, especially her roses, gardening, sewing, and knitting.  Dee enjoyed being a housewife and was a wonderful Mom.

Several years after Dan passed away, her children moved her to the Evergreen Assisted Living in O'Neill where she resided for 2 ½ years.
