Born in West Los Angeles, Lee grew up in the San Fernando Valley.  She was introduced to bowling in an after-school program when Canoga Park Bowl first opened.  Lee is married to John and they have 2 sons, all of whom bowl.  Lee joins her husband in the Hall of Fame as he was inducted in 2004.

In 1983 Lee was asked by Russ Begany at San Hi to help out with the youth program as the coaches weren't going to be there.  That started it, as she continued to coach on Saturday mornings at San Hi until 2002 when they closed their doors and she moved over to take over the youth program at Del Rosa Lanes, still there.  Lee holds various coaching titles including the newest name of USBC Level II.  Lee's all-time best scores are a 279 game and a 701 series.  Le states, "the certificates state she knows how to coach, but do not say she knows how to bowl."

1992-2003 Lee was on the Citrus Belt Women's Board holding various positions.  She was Citrus Belt Youth Secretary from 1994 until the merge in 2005 at which time she was also the Citrus Belt Women's Secretary/Treasurer.  She also served as Citrus Belt Association Manager.

Congratulations to Lee Fitzgerald on a well-deserved honor.
