JENIFER MARY LEE November 27, 1937-January 5, 2021
Jenifer Lee packed a lot into her 83 years including meeting, and in some cases advising, prime ministers, premiers and princesses (she met Diana). She was a tireless community advocate and proudly received a life membership of the ALP from Premier Daniel Andrews in recognition of more than 50 years of dedicated service.
She was a trailblazer in many ways, returning to study and beginning a successful professional career while raising her five children, much of it as a single mother. She would fight for justice for women, for humane rehabilitation for alcoholics and addicts, for the homeless and for the rights of the elderly. She started a second career in the law in her 50s and was awarded a life-time achievement award from the Law Institute of Victoria.
