After high school she married, became a mom and moved to Texas. Life shifted and after some time, while living in El Paso, Texas, she met the love of her life, Jeffrey, while attending a dance. Not long after, on Aug. 23, 1963, he married her and her two daughters, beginning a life of loving memories. They were soon transferred to Germany where Jeff was stationed and Jeffrey Jr. was born. It was during this time that Dee volunteered with the American Red Cross. Once back home in the United States after completing Jeff’s military service, they settled in Moses Lake.

Dee was civic-minded and volunteered through the years with many organizations. She was a Boy Scout den mother, a 4-H leader, a Sheriff’s Posse wife and a judge at local county fairs in the needlework categories, and helped organize several high school class reunions. She was a member of Eastern Star, Knit for Kids and American Red Cross, to name a few.
