"Dee Dee" attended elementary and high school in Marshall, Texas. She graduated from Marshall High School in 1980. After graduating from High School, "Dee Dee" joined the United States Army and later leaving the Army with an "Honorable Charge". "Dee Dee" was a 'jack of all trades' from working security, to working on electronics, to working on cars. She had an impeccable voice for singing and for entertaining us all. She loved her family, friends, and especially her nieces and nephews. "Dee Dee" was a kind, loving, respectful person and never missed the opportunity to let her loved ones know that she loved them. We are rejoicing in the way that she touched our lives by cherishing all of the fun times together, special moments and receptive love that "Dee Dee" shared with us.
