They enjoyed many years of wedded bliss, traveling while he was in the Airforce and spending the rest of their days in Mitchell county until he passed away in April 2016, and a loving mother to her daughter Dianne. She loved spending time with her daughter, especially shopping. The pair would often drop Don off where he wanted to go, then would spend the day out shopping in Sweetwater, making sure to hit up Vickies in Roscoe at some point during their trip. Prior to moving back to Colorado City they lived in Loraine, spending time together when neither of them were at work. Dean spent many years working for South Western Bell as a telephone operator. In her spare time she would work on needle point or spend time coloring ceramics.
