She would tell stories about playing in the band like the time Dennis and her (Den & Dee) played a Saturday job in Milwaukee to find out when unloading the truck on Sunday her drum cymbals were missing “Oh no! We forgot to load them”. We drove back to Holiday Inn and there they were on top of stacked chairs. There was a lot of laughing! Dee Dee loved butterflies, her grandkids, family, and walks on Sawyer Creek Trail. Dee Dee was a devoted caregiver for her family, friends, sisters, and granddaughter; Christina. She lived her life as a strong believer in the lord, Amazing Grace- How Sweet the Sound. Special thanks to all her friends at 101a club, so many special friends; Pat, Karen, Grace, Kathy, and Linda Kline, care and love to the end and so many more, the list goes on and on. Dee Dee, this beautiful amazing woman did so many good things in her life you could write a book. A Celebration of Life for Dee Dee will be held at a later date.
