Lee is the oldest of three children in her family. Lee's parents immigrated from Malaysia.
Alvin Lee, Lee's younger brother has started a GoFundMe page to help pay for her funeral and miscellaneous expenses.
Alvin wrote, “Being the older child meant she had the most responsibility. She was put in the position of taking care of our parents and her younger siblings. Yet, even with all that responsibility on her shoulders, she never gave in, but persevered through her hardships to get to where she was. It hurts to know that she is gone … We would do anything to bring her back home.”
The page has so far raised over $48,000 to date.
