Lee was the youngest of the four children of James Greeley and Lily Boody. Her father abandoned the family when she was an infant leaving his wife and four young children. She endured a difficult childhood, as money was scarce and the family moved often. Despite this, she did well in school and was very outgoing and gregarious.

Lee was the wife of 1) Ollie Schaller, 2) Jim Thompson, and 3) Louis Baranoski. She had three children with her first husband. These were Ollie, Jr, Joyce, and Judy. She had a magnetic personality but could be very outspoken at times. She was not afraid to speak her mind, and was probably ahead of the times as far as expectations in behavior for women.

She worked at Southwestern Bell as a clerk, held a number of waitress jobs, and for several years owned a diner called "Lee's Grill" in the 1950s. She worked as a cook at Good Samaritan Home for the Aged for many years. She was a self taught cook and enjoyed being in the kitchen. She loved animals and was proud of her dog named "Penny".
