Mary Lee was born in Mineola, NY and attended Quaker schools: Friend’s Academy (NY); George School (PA) and Earlham College (IN). After college, Mary Lee was a guide at the United Nations in New York City. Her love of history and current events led her to obtain a master degree in education from Hofstra College in NY.

Upon retirement, Mary Lee moved to New Harbor, ME. She enjoyed the beauty of the rugged coast of Maine. Her Quaker faith led her to be a voice for the needy and underprivileged.

She will be missed by her sister, Carly Hellen of Durham, NH; and brother, Steve Rushmore of New York City, NY.
