Mary Lee DePugh
My partner and I are researching the Depugh Nursing Center. In our search, a lot of information has come up about Mary Lee DePugh. She not only founded the Nursing Center, but also the Ideal Woman's Club. What I found really interesting was that she did not even visit Winter Park until 1936. The Woman's Club was established in 1937, and the Nursing Center did not open until 1956. But Mary Lee passed away in 1949. In twelve years, this woman put into motion two of the largest, most influential organizations in the Winter Park community. It would be really interesting to know more about Mary Lee DePugh before she arrived in Winter Park. I would be curious to find out what other things she set into motion during her lifetime.
