Dee wished to be cremated. Memorial service on Wednesday, December 21, at 7 p.m. at Living Light Christian Church, 6102 – 39th Avenue, Kenosha. Refreshments to follow. Dee wanted a celebration of life full of color, so there is no need to wear black. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent to the family.
Mary Rugg, Kathy DeBartelo & Dolores Parise says
Dearest Tammy & to the Family of Dee, We were truly blessed to have had the chance to know Dee although the time was cut too short. She was a wonderful room-mate at Manorcare to our mother Dolores. She gave her that extra push she needed and help to keep up her spirits. She was a joy to talk to and had a wonderful sense of humor. We were all very sad to hear of her passing, but she most definitely touched our lives. We regret we are unable to attend the service but we will get in touch with you next week as we would like to send a memorial to the family. Our deepest sympathies and prayers. Dee will truly be missed. Mary, Kathy, Dolores & Leonard Parise
