She was the 7th of 9 children, (Laoma, J.D., Nadine, Virgil, Chester, Ralph, Eva Lee, Helen, and Bertha Mae). She was a sweet little girl that went barefoot in the summertime.

After raising her family, she went to work at the Raleigh Bicycle Plant when they began operations in 1973 until they closed in April 1977. She really enjoyed working there.
She was the absolute best Mom in the whole world and a wonderful homemaker. She was always baking something special for her family. Eva Lee was most famous for her chocolate chip cookies, banana nut bread and fried chicken. She was a member of Emmanuel Enid Church.
