Deb and Dean married on December 22,1946 and made Midlothian their life long home in 1965. Dean was one of the most loving people you could ever meet. A woman of strong Faith and loved her Church family. She centered her life around her husband, her family and friends. She made the hardest job in the World a homemaker looked easy! She loved life and she loved Shopping! We always did things as a family. Growing up we went roller skating at least once a week on family night in Irving. Dean wouldn't think twice about jumping on the back of Deb's Honda Goldwing and riding sometimes clear to Bridgeport!
When she started getting grandkids the name she was called the most was "Granny" She's helped raise all her grandkids and collected a few extra kids along the way, Molly, Gerald, Natasha and Josh Ayers, Toni Cook, Brother Rick Davis, Chad Jones and Robert Harris.
Dean enjoyed her life to the fullest right down to her 94th Birthday. We went to El Fenix so she could have her a bowl of tortilla soup and wash it down with a Margarita! She loved her Margaritas!
She will be missed but she's leaving a legacy of love and faith!
