Obituary For Sydney "Sissy" Lee

Sydney Renee Lee, affectionately known as “Sissy” by all who knew her, was born on June 27, 1970, in Clearwater, Florida to Enell Lee and Carol Lee. Sydney was raised in the Largo, Florida area, before relocating to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Sydney attended the Pinellas County Schools, graduating from Boca Ciega High School. She furthered her education at Pinellas Technical College, obtaining her license as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Sydney later enrolled at Fortis College of Nursing, obtaining her degree as a Registered Nurse (RN). She worked extremely hard, until her health began to fail her. Sydney accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior and was baptized at an early age.

She later joined in fellowship with The Christ Church of Universal Love. Sissy was an avid reader, as she loved to read and even in her illness, she gained a love for the “Talking Library” for those visually impaired. She enjoyed shopping and was known for her stylish appearance. She loved spending time with her family, attending various family gatherings and was very social, outspoken, outgoing and loved by all.

She leaves to cherish her memories…
