Grandma Dee
October 18, 1915 - November 20, 2011
Ryan's Grandmother passed away yesterday morning. Playing cards was one of her favorite things to do. We would often play "Oh Darn" together as a family. I love this picture of Grandma. She has two of her favorite things with her: a hand of cards and a Pepsi! If you've ever played games with me, you know I can get competitive. Grandma Dee used to always say I was an angel, until she played cards with me a time or two. Then it got to the point she wouldn't sit by be while playing cards anymore. I usually beat her. We loved to play cards together! Some things she said to me while playing were, "That's too bad honey." Or "I take that back...you aren't an angel!" I will miss Grandma Dee. I will miss the conversations about World War II, her childhoood memories, and Grandpa Don. Grandma Dee was a fiesty, but strong woman. She was 96 years old and still lived at home. She passed away in her blue chair; right where she wanted to be. About a month ago she said, "I want to go spend Thanksgiving with Grandpa." She got her wish and I'm sure it was a joyous reunion with Grandpa and all her siblings. Grandma Dee will be missed but never forgotten. We love you, Grandma.
