Dreme was a lifelong antique collector, a retired home health nurse, and she lovingly raised pedigree cats and exotic chickens.

Her infectious laugh and compassionate spirit touched everyone she met. She had a unique ability to make each person feel special, always offering a listening ear, a remarkable story, hilarious joke, or a witty quip. She has left such a lasting impact on us all.
