Dee Dee was a good person. When she finished her playground duties at Memorial School, she would volunteer to help in my district elementary librarian’s office where the work for the then 6 elem. schools was centered. She was responsible, always did her best, learned well, and was fun to be around. She loved the continued tasks and work with the books and other items. She would often take home worn-out books she and Anthony would enjoy. Darlene also helped in sorting and pulling cards at the Mt. Auburn library as preparations for closing it were made. After retirement, it was always a pleasure to surprisingly meet her at some store. Dee Dee shared her crocheting skills, her sense of humor, and joy of helping. Good memories.
