Dee was a classy lady who touched a lot of lives. We will miss our weekly visits and daily phone calls between mother and son. She leaves a legacy of delicious desserts that will continue with her family. She enjoyed playing bridge, time with friends and time with her family. Dee also volunteered as a Pink Lady at Appleton Memorial Hospital. Dee was an amazing mother and grandmother who enjoyed a wonderful life and is now in the arms of her Lord and Savior.
