The COO of Cruise Planners passed away in August.

A 30-year career in the travel industry began as a cruise line reservations agent, leading to positions at Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line and Cruise Planners. She started in 2004.

"As I reflect on our 18-year partnership, I feel blessed to have had such a sincere, warm and fun friend by my side," Fee said. She knew early on that the secret to her success was in the agents and home office team. She felt like that.

After her death was announced, Cruise Planners' Facebook page was flooded with praise for her kindness, energy and support.

She was an advocate and volunteer for many causes and was recognized as one of South Florida's Top 25 Influential Business Women.

She is survived by her husband, brother, niece, nephew, and brother-in-law.
