Deirdre Anne Waller Harper, age 60 of Carrollton, passed away Friday, September 26, 2025. Born in Carrollton on January 18, 1965, she was the daughter of the late Jesse Edgar Waller and the late Barbara Huey Waller.

Dierdre was affectionately known by her family and friends as "DeeDee." She enjoyed reading and attending the drag races with her husband, Roger. Loving those fast cars, her Mustang GT was one of her treasures. She had a big heart and loved her family dearly and her special furbabies. Planning the annual family reunion was the highlight of her year. DeeDee was a devoted member of Cross Plains Christian Church. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Left to cherish her memories are her husband, James Roger Harper of Carrollton; her sister Kim & Cory Payne of Bremen; and her precious nieces and nephews: Cody & Savannah Payne, Crystal Williamson, Matt Harper, Daniel & Briana Marlow, and Cory & Jennifer Harper.

In keeping with DeeDee's wishes, she will be cremated. The family plans to host a celebration of her life at a later date.

Hutcheson's Memorial Chapel & Crematory of Buchanan is honored to serve the cremation needs of the Harper family.
