The following is from one of Dee's daughters, Kristen Staples Bier.

A daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend to all, she was a treasure to all who knew her. Her high school years were some of her best memories! She enjoyed those carefree days and always looked back fondly sharing a memory or two with her three daughters. Often a little lesson from her own growing up years that we now pass on to her grandchildren and so her legacy lives on. 

Though her life was short, it was a life filled with love, laughter and courage. Professionally she was a hair stylist and then later a Real Estate agent both things she excelled in. She was a person that truly enjoyed people and in doing so, shared her gifts with all who came in contact with her. She made friends wherever she went.

She married in her early twenties and had three daughters. An amazing mother; her goal was to raise them to be confident, happy and resilient young women, who loved life as much as she did. Later she married a classmate from Sunset, Hal Bayley, who would share what would become the last years of her life.

Her three daughters, all with children of their own, share with them the legacy of an amazing grandmother. In their eyes and smiles she lives on. Her strength, humor and incredible courage are the gifts she has left to them and to generations to come.
