For fun, Dee loved crafting, going to garage sales and other shopping trips with her friends the “Christoval girls,” collecting rocks, reading, and serving as a beautician for the ladies at church. Her favorite way to spend time, though, was with her grandkids who would often come to visit B-Bud and Meems for the entirety of Spring Break and Summer Vacation.
