Dee moved to Nobles Pond in Dover Delaware in 2013 where she found herself in a beautiful, loving community. She would always say this is where she blossomed.

Dee loved to spend time gardening, doing puzzles in her kitchen, and playing canasta with her friends.

Everyone who knows her would say she was never without a smile on her face.
