Lee was also an avid salt and pepper collector accumulating over 5000 pairs; she had quite the animated stuffed animal collection as well. Lee never turned down a Triple Yahtzee game and could play game after game. She is survived by her children Robert Stevens Jr. and wife Maria, Denise Malaro and her husband Joe; predeceased brother Robert Goldman Sr. Sisters Sue Reynolds of Iowa, Joy Junas of Nevada; and Grandchildren Lindsey Piscatelli and husband Lou, Will Malaro and wife Kelly, Jessica Zavatsky and husband Frank, Peter Villa Jr. and wife Lois and David Villa.
