Service Details
On Thursday, April 4, 2013, Janiece “Dee” Lair was called to heaven where she has been reunited with her husband, Jack, of 43 years. Jack passed away on May 26, 2012. Dee was born in Des Moines, Iowa on May 11, 1944 to Clayton and Ethel Schuster.
Dee had an inquisitive, childlike spirit. She loved trying new things. Dee loved to bowl and looked forward to her bowling trips every year. Dee made no apologies about her love-hate relationship with slot machines. Dee spent many evenings and weekends playing cards with friends and family…...and she absolutely hated to lose.
Everyone knows that Dee loved to laugh, even if it was at her own expense. Everyone knows that Dee loved to bake and to cook. Whether making a full Thanksgiving Feast with ten different kinds of homemade pie, or preparing homemade Mexican or Chinese food, cooking was Dee’s passion. Dee was definitely the Queen of the Kitchen.
Dee’s family was her everything.
Dee leaves behind her daughter, Jacquie (Mike) Powell; her son, Jimmy (Jill) Lampman; her step-sons, Jim (Angie) Lair and John (Lisa) Hedman; two sisters, Elaine (Rich) Hughes and Ruth Downey; eleven grand-children; three great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.
Memorial services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street. Family will greet friends an hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Dee’s family.

So sorry Jacquie and family. She was very loved and will be missed by many. I always told her that if we lived in the south, we'd be calling each other cousin.
Love you all.

I loved Dee for many years.We did many fun things together.We didn't see other much the last few years but she always knew I loved her and she loved me. I really can't say anything that would help the way all of us feel. No one ever had a bad word to say about Dee she was just as sweet on the inside as she was on the outside. This is so hard for me to believe that Her and Jack are gone they have been apart of Dick and I for so many years.
RIP my dear friend!!We will see you and Jack one of these days!
Love

I worked with Dee at the VA Hospital and she was always smiling. She was also best friends with my step-mom Sandy Hill- Proctor. I loved working with her and hearing all fun stories of their childhood times. My prayers go out to her family for comfort during this time.
