Dee lived every day exuding kindness and passion for everyone she touched. To know Dee was to love her. Her kindness extended to every person and creature she encountered.

Dee will remain in the hearts of all who knew her, including her devoted parents Liz and Brian, her best friend and sister Stephanie (Matthew), caring brother Tyler, her adored niece and nephew Arianna and Kaeden, and her loving boyfriend Wyeth. Dee also held a special place in her heart for her late grandparents, Babcia, Dzia Dzia, Grandma and Grandpa, whom she loved dearly. She will be greatly missed by her many aunts, uncles and cousins.

She cared for her two cats, Teddy and Princeton, while always carrying the memory of her late companions, Willow and Tyson, in her heart. Her compassion for and connection to animals was evident. She was always quick to offer love, comfort, and care to any creature.

Besides spending time with her loved ones, Dee had a passion for reading, thrifting, the Leafs, The Golden Girls, and spending time beaching at the family cottage.

Dee cherished her friendships deeply, always making time for those she cared about and uplifting them with her warmth and genuine spirit. She was a fiercely loyal friend who always stood by those she loved. Dee was a bright light to everyone; her caring demeanor was felt by all, and she was always there for anyone in need of help.
