Dee lived her life for her Family and Friends! She was a loyal and dedicated steward of her love, for her faith, and of the Adoration Chapel at Christ the King. Dee enjoyed the sport of baseball which was always evident as she watched her two grandsons play. She never missed a game!! Harry Caray and Ron Santo were faces and voices seen and heard on a daily basis and NOW SHE has joined them on to the highest level! Go Cub's , Get some Runs!
This Mother and Daughter have had a BOND just like a perfectly fit glove, and each knew that was one GOD made just for them !!! Dee and Brenda's bond was a First Time Hall of Fame 100% Ballot Buster Entry !!! Pierre and Gracie and ALL of us know that GOD has BLESSED mom with a front row seat and a season pass !!! Mom was our biggest cheerleader throughout our lives. When we were sad, she was sadder and when we were happy, she was happier. She loved her family, more than life. How blessed we have been to have known her, which makes saying good-bye so very hard. MOM , You were and ALWAYS will be the STAR of our Lives ! Thank You!! WE miss you already and we will always LOVE YOU !!!

I was so blessed to have worked at Hy-Vee Southridge with Dee for so many years. She touched SO MANY lives here at the store. Some of us long time employees were just listing them and the list is LONG! I am just sorry I lost touch with her after her retirement. My thoughts are with you through these times. She was a very special lady.

I guess we'll never really understand the plans the Lord makes for us all! I used to 'raz' my cousin DEE-lores about her size..."You're older than me, and you'll ALWAYS have to look up to me!" Only in stature, she came from very humble beginnings, worked hard always, making sure HER kid's had a much better life!!! She deserved a MUCH longer time to enjoy kid's, grandkids (Bren's dogs too). Instead she was given a BATTLE to wage...did it valiantly, she didn't want pity, just prayers!!! You'll be missed, and you were loved greatly by your phone tag cuz........Ann

Dee was such an integral part of our family. We were all blessed to know and love her. Take comfort knowing that she is with the angels now and continues to watch over each of you. Her legacy is the special family she shared with the rest of us. God Bless.

My deepest sympathies and love to all of you. Your memories of the life Dee led are a real tribute to her love and support for her family. I will always remember her style of sitting back quietly and rooting on her grandsons at every ball game. May God hold you and grant you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
