Dee loved life and always found time to lend a helping hand. She loved to garden and had a trowel at the ready for any occasion.  She loved to travel with family and friends, making many trips to Europe, Canada, and Alaska.  She will be greatly missed.

Her ashes will be interred in Fernandina Beach at St. Peter's at a later date.
