She especially enjoyed the countless hours she spent with her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dee never missed any of their special events and taught all of her girls how to be ladies.

While the family was sitting by the pool trying to find the words to write this obituary, they remember how peacefully she passed away and how she looked up and said with a smile, “There are those smiling faces.” They laughed wondering if she saw her mom and Ronnie and at that moment they heard the roar of a racecar engine. Instantly they felt at peace and knew she was where she wanted to be for so long, with her beloved Ronnie.
