She was a good cook and loved hosting big Sunday dinners. DeDe had a soft spot for all animals, especially cats. She loved her coffee and donuts, and enjoyed collecting her refrigerator magnets.
DeDe is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Suzanne and James Hutton; three grandchildren, Leslie, Maggie, and Kyle Hutton; two cats, Boots and Black Kitty; and several nieces, special neighbors, and friends.
