De was a wonderful, kind, and talented lady. I, like the rest of us that worked with her, will miss her.

I worked with De 8 years ago, and my husband still worked with her at the RPD. De was a very special woman and even played the wedding music at our wedding. May she feel no pain as she is embraced by God I heaven above. May your family come together and be a source to each other as you process your grief.
Many thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
The Caruros family

De (D.E.E.) A most beautiful flower picked to grace the gates of heaven. A major loss to the Reynoldsburg community. Her smile and style will be missed around the police department as well as the city.

My name is Leslie Clark and I worked with De at the City of Reynoldsburg for the past 7 years. I can truly say she was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful example of poise and class! Just the sweetest woman. I said before that she was like the city hall mom and we all loved her so much! She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with all of her family at this difficult time. Please take comfort in knowing that De is at perfect peace and has probably already planted flowers in her new home. Rest in Heaven De!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Tom and family. It was always fun to stay over night and play together. I remember one time we were playing out in the pasture and I accidently touched the electric fence and couldn't let go. DeeDee had to run all the way back to the barn and turn off the electric fencer so I could let go!! Lynn and Gene Jensen (cousin)

Dear Tommy,
Jimmy and I will miss Dede's way of always making us feel so welcomed on our visits. What fun we had grilling pizza! We are so blessed to have had her as our sister-in-law. She was a wonderful sister and friend. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you and the family.

Dear Tom and Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Although I never had the opportunity to meet De, I know she must have been an amazing woman just by virtue of being married to you, Tommy.

To the Kimble Family: I have always found this poem comforting during a loss......

"The Broken Chain"

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

De always had a smile and when she spoke of her family, that smile would light up a whole room. She could take a handful of weeds, literally weeds, and turn them into a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Anyone who knew De is feeling the pain of this loss. She was wonderful. She made you feel special and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. And oh those blueberry muffins!
My heart breaks for De's family.
I miss her.....

April 7, 2015

I will always treasure the wonderful friendship we shared, and am ever so grateful to have experienced the beauty of life through De's eyes. ... Nadine Morse
