Dee was a long time Account Clerk at Greenlawn Terrace Elementary School. She was an active member of the St. Philip Neri Grandparents Club and the Beginning Experience. She was a Pelicans season ticket holder and was heavily engaged in her grandkids' extracurricular activities. Dee went by many names in our family: Mom, Wootz, Gonald, Deester, Nan Taxi, Deedle, Grammie, Gonnie, Double Dee, Ms. Dee, and Dee Dee. Whatever name she went by, she was one of the most selfless and kind-hearted people. Her capacity to create a welcoming space to talk and to never judge was one of her many super-powers. She always without fail, put her family first and extended kindness and love to everyone she encountered. That love will live on in everyone that came into her orbit. She was easy to love and will be greatly missed by many. Family and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Services at Garden of Memories Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4900 Airline Drive, Metairie, LA 70001 on Thursday, February 16, 2023. Visitation will begin at 11:00 am with a Mass starting at 2:00 pm. Followed by interment.
