Cindy, I am so saddened to learn of your loss. Dede had a million dollar smile and a presence that could electrify any gathering. The photos are marvelous - you could have a portrait done of Dede, "Woman with Boa." I left for Oregon the day of the memorial service, but carried you both in my heart.

Dear Cindy & Dede's family,
I want to offer my deepest, heartfelt sympathy to you. When someone passes away, part of you will never be the same. But what makes you you is all the love and care that you gave each other in the details and hours of your lives. She will always be in your heart, and your memories. You take her with you wherever you go.
I hope you find comfort in the thought that she is now tenderly wrapped in the arms of God.
I know that the love you shared and the memories you hold dear will help ease the pain of this loss. I will miss my childhood friend, her infectious laugh, her thoughtfulness & her enormous heart. I will continue to treasure the life long friendship we shared and smile when I look back at our old school days.

Dear Cindy, Dede was one-in a million. We go back to our early years at Cosgriff and then St Mary of the Wasatch. In all my years no one has been as upbeat, carefree and easy going as Dede.
We played softball together for years, laughing, tearing up the field and just having a good time. While I didn't graduate from St Mary's I was invited to the 50th reunion and missed Dede's smiling face. I tried to get her to attend by calling her and emailing her... I did let her know she was missed.
Your life will not be the same without her. You to were always such a fun couple and I always enjoyed meeting up at Salt Lake social gatherings. My thoughts and prayers at with you Cindy. Dede will be missed by many. Hugs to you!

I was very lucky to see her periodically in our lives. She was joy & I admired her. It is a great loss to all.
Lots of love

I am so sad to hear of Dee Dee’s passing. I worked with her at UPS. I remember her laugh. She was a joy to be around. Always positive and happy. I am a better person for having known her. My heart goes out to her family. Julie

Dear Cindy, I was so sorry to hear about Dede’s passing. She was always one of my favorite people, and one helluva first baseman when I was the catcher in CYO softball a hundred years ago!! It’s been many years since I’ve seen you both but have never forgotten you. My mom, Kay Lee, loved you too! Take care of yourself and know I’m sending much love from Utah. Jane Lee Fischer

Dede was a vibrant part of the Tahquitz women's golf community. She will always have a place in our hearts and never be forgotten by so many. May the winds of heaven blow softly over Tahquitz golf course and Dede be able to watch and laugh at the antics on the golf course below. We forever cherish having known this beautiful soul
May the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear. ...
You may be gone from my sight but you are never gone from my heart
