Dede worked as a beloved cosmetologist for almost 40 years. Her “ladies” were family to her. As one of her final wishes, she wanted to thank them for sharing their lives and love throughout the years.
Dede was a wonderful listener and dear friend to all. She had a genuine, caring heart and accepted everyone into her circle. She loved to visit her grandchildren, play Yahtzee with her best friend, Debbie, and collect angels.
