Dee Rowland passed away on May 8, 2025 in Halstead, Kansas with family by her side. She was 83 years old. She will be remembered by all those who knew and loved her for her strong faith in the Lord, her love of music and travel, her sense of humor, and the selfless love and sacrifice she demonstrated to her family and friends.

Delores Anne (Williams) Rowland was born on June 29, 1941 in El Dorado, Kansas. She was the youngest of five children born to Alvin Roy Williams and Hazel Angeline (Towne) Williams.
