Her family was her largest possession, because no matter what, they were always there to support each other and have each other's back.   She loved basketball, spades, and shooting pool.  She told us she taught her brothers how to play, and now they think they are better than her.  Our mother spent lots of time with her nieces, nephews, and grand kids.  They knew when she was around, they were going on an eventful ride with aunt DeeDee.  Re'Niyah her 2nd grandchild, said and we quote "Grandma DeeDee was an amazing woman.  She was a woman who stood her ground.  My Grandma could light a dark city with her smile!  We are so blessed to have had his amazing woman in our lives.  She was so proud of her creations, and spoke so highly of her grands, and their accomplishments.  Ms. Mary "DeeDee" has gained her wings and leaves this earthly home leaving a huge impact on a lot of people's lives.  Everyone who knew her got a taste of her love and nuggets of wisdom that will be with us forever.
