It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt and Friend.

Dee Ann moved from Denver to the Vail Valley in 1969 with her husband Donald where they put down permanent roots and raised their family.
Donald (Donny) was a Builder-Developer and was Owner/Partner of Carpentry Unlimited Inc. with Carl Dietz.
Dee Ann was a full-time mother and homemaker until she began working at the Holiday Inn in Vail as the Front Desk and Reservations Manager. Later Dee Ann opened Dee Ann’s Dolls & Fine Collectables located in Crossroads in Vail, now known as the Solaris.
