In recent months, there have been numerous reports of people dying suddenly and at very young ages. Now, a popular reality television star has joined the others who have lost their lives in 2022. Sara Lee first rose to fame while appearing on the sixth season of the WWE show “Tough Enough” back in 2015. She was such a force to be reckoned with that she bested all her female opponents in the program and eventually earned herself a contract to wrestle from the WWE for an entire year.
Throughout most of 2016, Lee wrestled her female opponents. She did a great job and worked through her contract to the end of it. And when her time with the WWE ended, Lee turned her attention to wrestling on the independent circuit. And during this busy time in her life, she also did something else that was truly life transforming. Lee got married to the love of her life.
The marriage between Sara Lee and former WWE wrestler Wesley Blake occurred in 2017. The couple quickly got to work growing their family and proceeded to have three children together. They had an adorable life as a family in Orland, Florida, where they decided to keep their home.
Although Lee was not in the limelight as much as she had been back in 2015 and 2016, she still kept her Instagram account up to date for all her fans who wanted to see what the professional wrestler had been up to. She often shared pictures of her adorable family as well as a glimpse into the tough-as-nails workouts that she continued to do despite no longer being in the professional wrestling world.
Unfortunately, Lee posted her final post just two days before she passed away. She shared a picture of herself in gym clothes as she looked into the mirror of a bathroom. She was optimistic while taking the photo and captioned it as follows: “Celebrating finally being healthy enough to go to the gym two days in a row. First ever sinus infection kicked my butt.”
Although Lee thought she had beaten the sinus infection, something went terribly wrong shortly thereafter. Within days of her last Instagram post, Sara Lee unexpectedly died. Her mother, Terri Lee, turned to Facebook to share the horrific news that her young daughter had passed away in her prime.
“It is with heavy hearts we want to share that our Sara Weston has gone to be with Jesus. We are all in shock, and arrangements are not complete. We ask that you respectfully let our family mourn. We all need prayers, especially Cory and her children.”
There has not yet been a cause of death announced for the young reality television star. Lee had her whole life ahead of her. She was the mother of three healthy children, the wife of a former WWE wrestler, and the daughter of a loving mother. Lee was only thirty at the time of her death.
