So sorry for the loss of Dean. I knew her from both recent places she resided and would see her when visiting my mom. She was a sweet lady. I loved to see her smile. You have my sympathy.
Sorry for your loss. She lived next door to my son and was at a lot of my grandchildren’s birthday parties. Such a nice lady.
I’m so sorry Bruce. I really liked your mom! She truly was one of the good ones. Jack deeken
We were so sorry to hear of the death of Dean. She was a sweet lady! It was always enjoyable to visit with her. Bruce, LuAnne, Nancy, and all the grandchildren are in our thoughts and prayers.
PeeWee and Mary Jane Forck Our sympathy to the whole family. I did business with Eddie and Dean when I was much younger and they was on Brooks St. (I think the street is right out by Stockman Feed). I enjoyed the whole family and it bring back so many memories. My Dad (C.B.) bought the first self propelled Gleaner with a cab to come to Jefferson City. They will all be truly missed in our community. The were good to do business with and considered the family true friends.
My family had the pleasure of being next-door neighbors to Dan and Nancy, and regularly enjoyed Dean’s company as well. Thinking of her smile always makes my heart happy!
So sorry to hear about Aunt Dean. I would see her when my mother was at JC Manor . She always smiled and we’d talk about past memories. She will truly be missed. She is now with her Heavenly Father and those who have gone before her. You’re in our prayers. Love Debbie, Carrie and Katie McIlwain
Dear Bruce, LuAnne, Nancy and Cousins, I was so sad to hear of Great Aunt Dean’s passing. I have such fond memories of her. I loved to get to go visit with her when Grandpa Jim or my dad had to go by the implement store. I thought she was so pretty….and had such a beautiful smile. She was so kind to me and made me feel so special. She was always such a class act Lady! I am sure she is at peace in heaven! Sending prayers from Oklahoma, to all of you during this sad time! Laurie Wekenborg Darling
