Dee was such a quiet wonderful asset to the Lenawee Family Researchers and the Lenawee Museum. I met her through the Researchers group and was always so happy to see her after she left. She was Secretary-Treasurer of our group for many years, a very capable and pleasant person. I will miss her smile.
