Dee devoted her life to taking care of others and she did that very well. She loved music and in her younger years she taught piano and even wrote sheet music. She would always sing and play the organ on the holidays at the family gatherings. She was a great mom to all of us in every sense of the word. She loved to go on picnics at Grass Lake and loved to go fishing with her dad, her husband, Philip, and her son. She helped form a team of bowling moms from the old Cherokee Lane neighborhood in Jackson and bowled with this team for over ten years. She worked for the Davis Molton Insurance Agency for 18 years. After her first husband passed away she devoted herself to volunteering to help others. She volunteered at the Henry Ford Allegiance Health Lobby Gift Shop and in the Henry Ford Allegiance Health Hospice office. Then she met the second love of her life. She married John and they were fortunate to spend 13 wonderful years together until his passing on October 13, 2019. She was a role model that we all hope to emulate in our own lives and she will never be forgotten.

Dee was a devout Catholic and the Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 707 N. Waterloo, Jackson, MI on Tuesday, December 31 at 10:00 am officiated by Reverend William Lugger. The family will receive friends at Church, prior to the Mass, from 9–10 am. Interment will follow at St. John's Catholic Cemetery.

Our family would like to thank the loving caregivers at Arbor Woods Assisted Living, and all of those who lovingly cared for Dee and our family at Henry Ford Allegiance Health during her recent admission.
