Dee was a housewife, mother, grammie, friend and aunt who loved to cook. Her passion for cooking showed when she could take any leftovers out of the fridge and make it into the best-tasting meal ever. She was also known to give the best hugs.
Her loves were canning corn and fresh vegetables, as well as taking care of her garden. She enjoyed traveling, spending time with family and friends, and the list can go on and on, but her greatest love was getting to spend time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Rex (Leanne) Luebbe of Central City and Rhonda (Mike) Patterson of Fort Worth, Texas; sister, Nadine (Dale) Hilderbrand of Central City; brother-in-law, Bill Grigsby of Aurora; sisters-in-law, Alice Butt of Central City and Marilyn Butt of Central City; eight grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ken Luebbe; parents, Fritz and Pauline Butt; daughter, Rita Couse; son, Russ Luebbe; sister, Ernestine Grigsby; and brothers, Richard Butt and Roger Butt.
