From there she became a bookkeeper for Rocchio Construction (her husband’s business), then Catamore Jewelry Co. of RI and Hasbro Toy Manufacturer, where she retired after several rewarding years of service. She made friends at her various jobs that lasted a lifetime. She enjoyed many years of traveling to beautiful locations with her husband Pat, family and friends. She also enjoyed family gatherings and trips to Bonnett Shores. Lee was extremely proud of her daughters and their accomplishments, and her great grandchildren were the highlight of her life.
