A sinus illness was noted in Lee’s final Instagram post. “To mark the achievement of being well enough to hit the gym for two days in a row, we are holding a party. My bum was kicked by my first sinus illness “Earlier this week, she penned a letter. After being awarded a $250,000 contract on the 2015 season of “WWE Tough Enough,” Lee was let go the following year.
Wesley Blake, whose real name is Cory Weston but went by the ring as “WWE,” was her husband. Three kids were born to the happy couple. Lee’s mother also shared the sad news on Facebook. Sara Weston “has gone to live with Jesus,” she wrote, and the news was met with “sad hearts.” Arrangements have not been finalised because we are all in shock. Please give our family some space while we grieve. Pray for us all, but especially for Cory and her kids.
Courtney White, Lee’s sister-in-law, was also very saddened by her passing. She wrote, in part, “I normally know what to say, but I don’t.” As their mother should be here for every milestone in their lives, I feel such a deep sadness for these three little ones. I’ve spent the last day and a half trying to wrap my head around how this is possible. It’s because of her kids that I know our family can get through this.
I never met Sara Lee but she always seemed to have a beautiful energy. My heart goes out to her family and friends. It just doesn’t make sense sometimes. 💔
