She gave many people a home; her door was always open with the coffee pot on and goodies on the counter. Her love for everyone was unconditional. She was all her daughters’ best friend and loved going on every adventure taken with each one. Dee enjoyed spending time at the creek with Monica, gambling trips with Delise and Doreen, and with her brothers and sisters. She always had the biggest smile with the funniest laugh.
