Lee was born on Upper Prairie Creek to David Henry Burrows and Edith Foster Burrows.
He spent his early years on the family farm on Upper Prairie Creek. In 1920, he moved with his family to Ontario, Ore., then to Parma, Idaho and Vancouver, Wash. After returning to Joseph, he attended Hurricane Creek Grade School and Joseph High School.
After Lee married Myrtle Elizabeth Sasser, the couple moved back to Enterprise. In 1945, the couple relocated to Wallowa to help build and operate a Texaco Service Station.
In 1952, the Burrows Cafe was built across the street from the service station; Lee and Myrtle operated the business until retirement in 1973.
Lee was preceded in death by his wife Myrtle Burrows, half brothers George Williams and Oakley Burrows, and brother Gene Burrows. He is survived by his son Thorval and Mary Ann Burrows of Wallowa; two sisters, Betty McNeese of Great Falls, Mont. and Oma Snell of Lincoln, Neb.; eight grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; and one great great grandchild.
