A beloved Mom, wife, and grandmother died March 3, 2022 at 96 years old.
Dee was born in Abie, Nebraska on October 23, 1925, to George and May Spatz.
Dee graduated from National Business Institute in Lincoln, Nebraska in the spring of
1944. She worked for various employers in the business world, including time at Union
Pacific Railroad, and Mutual of Omaha, before she got married.
Our Mom married our dad, Harold, in January 1956 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Our Dad was commissioned in the U.S. Air Force, so Dee started life with him in Lincoln,
Nebraska, then to Hahn Air Base in Germany, then to Waco, Texas and finally settling in
Aurora, Colorado in the mid-sixties.
Dee was a great cook! Keeping her house in top shape was a priority for her.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, George Spatz, her
sister, Margery Haupt and a niece, Karen Schmidt.
Surviving are her two sons, Steve, and Dave; two grandsons, Paul, and Dawson.
The nieces and nephews, Marsha Yentes, Barbara Baum, Michael, and Barb Struempler,
Jan Streets, Marge Kouba, Doug, Curtis, and Roger Struempler.
