Mrs. Lee was born Sept. 23, 1907, in San Saba County, Texas, to James Murdock and Jessie Harriet (White) Daggs. She worked in the fields in Texas as a youth and married Artemas D. “Jim” Harrison in 1924. She married Herman Lee in 1946. She moved from Texas to Happy Camp, Calif., where she lived for more than 40 years. She moved to Oregon just over two years ago to be near her daughter.
She had a good sense of humor and often said a diet of Mountain Dew and junk food helped her live longer. She enjoyed raising flowers and vegetable gardens and loved sharing memories of her life such as covered wagons, rock hounding and panning for gold. She read the Bible often and crocheted many baby blankets for newborns at local hospitals. She said she looked forward to heaven and being with Jesus.
Survivors include her daughter Jessie Christensen of Redmond; and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Herman, and sons Jim, Chuck, Blackie, and Dock Harrison..." from Barbara Chittum Hutchens
