My condolences to Eric, Trever, Kelsey, Ryan and their families. Lee deserved the title “SUPER MOM” — Not only to her family but the numerous children she so treasured within her daycare. Lee’s values, thoughts and personal actions were major to the “Fleming School’s “rich learning environment
Your Mom’s memories will be remembered, cherished and deeply engraved in everyone who had the honor to be acquainted with Lee/Mom!
Condolences to the Penner/Hatch Families. Lee was a special lady and a mother to all of us boys who spent nights at the Penner House in Brandon and many long weekends at the cabin. I regret not seeing and visiting with you before you left us. May you find peace and rest.
Everyone knows that Lee was like a second mom to so many, myself included. Always so warm, kind, caring, and generous. With the biggest heart.

She will be deeply missed, and my condolences to all of the amazing Penner family. Love n hugs to all.

Dear Eric, Kelsey, Trevor, Ryan, Sharon (Penner and Hatch families)
I have known You and Lee for over 50 years. Getting together at your place, after Cdn Motors Xmas parties, and a house full of guests. Lee and her Mom, Winnie getting us dressed up for Halloween. Half the fun, was being at your house and those 2 figuring out a crazy costume for us to wear. We would have good belly laughs, with how they made us look. Then our New Years Eve escapades, and hotel hopping and then ending up back at your place for a party and Sharon playing the piano and we all got to sing along. And of course the times that I visited family and yourselves at Oak Lake and what fun, to be sitting around the camp fire, while the both of you entertained with your guitars and again a sing along. Sometimes the words weren’t always the same for the poor song, but it didn’t matter.
I remember dropping in at your home, several times, when Lee had a day care, and I thought those lucky kids, never had it so good. There were toys and games scattered around the house. And everyone wanted Lee to look after their child. It was Heaven on earth for a kid, to be with her. Lee was one of the nicest woman I have ever met. She was always happy and brought great joy and a smile to anyone that was near her. I will always remember my time Eric with you and Lee and family and all the wonderful times we had. With sincere sympathy Marilyn Forsyth
Eric and family,
It was with great sadness that we learned of Lee’s passing. Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Such sad news…Lee was the best ” neighborhood mom” to so many kids as she loved and guided them and was loved in return. Her influence lives on in them. Peace.
My deepest condolences to Eric, the family, and the Hatch family on the loss of Lee. She was a special person for sure. Thoughts and prayers, Ruth (Sawatsky) O’Hara.
My Sincere Sympathy to Eric, Kelsey, Trever, Robyn, Trey and Tessa and Ryan in this very sad time . You have all such great memories to help get you through this. Lee was the best friend I could have asked for she always said we needed our private visits and we had that visit a couple of weeks ago which I will cherish forever. She was such a positive and happy caring person never complained. Big Hugs to all of you

We are so sorry to read of Lee’s passing. Her heart was a big one and we were so blessed to have had her and you, her whole family, as Bryan’s daycare providers in those early days. He thrived under the love and care of all of you. She is in our thoughts and know that she will live on forever in your hearts.
