| About | Her birth name was Eudena after her fathers sister in Tennessee. But, she was known as Dena or Dee to everyone else. She was always smiling but was very tenderhearted and would cry secretly to appear strong. She was a great friend but if you crossed her or hurt one of her friends she was fierce. She had 3 sons which were her life. She might have been small in stature but her boys ( being close to 6ft tall) knew she meant what she said and she was the parent. Her youngest was only 9 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This worried her and she made it her main goal to survive long enough to get him grown. He was 14 when she died. She never complained with the never ending chemo, losing her hair 3 times. She continued to work having a computer put in her home. She continued to go with her boys to all their football games and other sports. Parents said when she passed that they didnt even know shw was sick. She was the best sister a person could have. I was lucky to work with her for her last 7 years. Our brother Billy was the youngest and Dena was a real prankster. Her and her friend Christy Ayres were always together BEST FRIENDS. I will always miss her everyday. Her big sister, Ellie |
