She attended the public schools of Chatham County and was a graduate of Tompkins High School. At an early age she professed her faith in Jesus Christ and joined Taylor Chapel AME Church where she was a dedicated member. At Taylor Chapel, she served faithfully on the Stewardess board.

Lessie was united in holy matrimony to Jack Owens Sr. of Estille, South Carolina, on January 4th of 1969. This union was blessed with 4 children.
