Lee was born on August 4, 1950, in Dexter, Iowa to Clovis Neil and Katherine "Loraine" (Donald) McBroom.She attended school in Centerville, for many years.

In the fall of 1977, she settled into her home in Allerton, where she lived for almost 47 years. On May 11, 1980, she and Roger "Cheeco" Hildenbrand welcomed son, Tyler.
In her working years, she worked in many fields of service. She worked at the Allerton Sewing Factory, on road construction, and Neely's, where she worked for over 10 years. Most of her friends will remember her working as a bartender at Kelly's Place & Marion's Place where she met many great lifelong friends.
She enjoyed cooking, baking, reading, gardening, sewing, painting and was very artistic. Some thought she should have gone to art school. Lee loved spending time with her family, especially watching her grandkids grow up. She was a woman of God whose faith was strong. Her heart was made of gold, and she shared her love by donating to many charities throughout her life.
People would often tell her children how she was the sweetest lady and had the biggest heart.
