Dedee Clarke Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on March 23, 1958, in Lexington, Kentucky, Dedee spent most of her life in her hometown, where she built a life filled with cherished memories. A graduate of Tates Creek High school, Dedee was known for her kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for those around her.
In 1979, she married the love of her life, Bill Clarke. Together, they shared many wonderful years. Dedee had a passion for travel, enjoyed music, playing bingo, and an enduring fondness for the beach, where she found peace and joy.
She was preceded in death by her parents, JD and Peggy Reeves; her beloved husband, William Clarke; and her sister, Cathy Crowley.
Dedee is survived by her nephew, Jason (Ashley) Crowley, and her beloved great-niece & nephew, Ember and Aidan, who brought immense joy to her life. She also leaves behind many dear friends and devoted caregivers who held a special place in her heart.
Dedee will be remembered for her warmth, compassion, and the deep love she gave so freely. Her memory will be forever cherished by all who knew and loved her.
A private celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Dedee's memory with a contribution to Justin's Place (Wilmore, KY).
Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.
