Dee Ann showered those around her with love, spontaneity, adventure, energy and laughter. She was creative with a keen interest in crafts from basket weaving to scrapbooking to Cricut. Dee Ann also loved taking cruises, camping, the outdoors and travel. Dee Ann’s favorite places were Maui and Lahina, Hawaii. She loved sea turtles, swimming the waters of Maui and being in the sand.

Dee Ann was incredibly proud of her children Jennifer and Steven and a doting grandma. Her kindness, compassion, generosity and vivacious personality will be deeply missed.
