I remember what a good time I had with Dee and the other chaperones when we went with the HNM Youth Group trip to DisneyWorld with Bro.Al. Dee was a great person.
On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences. We will say a Mass in her memory.
Father of all, we pray to you for Dee, all those we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Kenny Spellman ’84
Brother Martin High School
One of the kindest and most thoughtful people I’ve known. We had many good times camping and other get togethers. She was very devoted to her family she will be missed.
1985 I met a boy in high school math class… I was a junior and he was a senior. Little did I know… that I would meet this beautiful woman that would become like a second mom to me…. his mom… my mother-in- law Drella Pitre.
She taught me how to cook some of my husband’s favorite dishes, she came with us on many fun vacations and she became the fun loving Maw Maw Dee to our 3 sons. You have made a HUGE impact in our lives and I will treasure the memories we made with you forever.
R.I.P. we love you with all our hearts. Heaven has gained a new angel to look over us.
You were the BEST mother, mother in law, and Maw Maw Dee. I’ve learned so much from you through our years together. We love you… you are gone but will NEVER be forgotten.
