So very sorry to see this. Decia was an indelible part of my youth and early married life. She was a loyal friend with a good heart. Sincere condolences to her loving family.

I just heard the news about Decia. She was my young womens leader growing up and I remember how kind she was. I had the pleasure of babysitting her boys when they lived in Elkhart. I have fond memories of talking with her and sharing deep discussions. Both Mark and Decia were good parental role models for me. I enjoyed playing with the boys and remember watching her cats while the family was away. I know she will be missed. Even though I havent had the pleasure of being close to her for many years I look forward to seeing her in the afterlife and getting reacquainting with her and the family. Hope all of her family are all.
