Dede was born in Odessa in 1962. She graduated from Permian High School in 1980 and had worked for Best Cleaners during high school. She graduated from U.T.P.B. with a BS of Computer Science then taught computer skills at American Commercial College for more than 10 years. She worked at Medical Center Hospital for 14 years, then at ECISD for 4 years, Odessa College for 3 years, and finally returned to ECISD for another 2 years.
Dede is remembered for her incredible love for others, her vibrant and joyous spirit, and her wacky wit. She loved rock & roll music and having large gatherings of friends. She loved gadgets, photography, and all things Apple. But most of all, she found her deepest purpose and joy in being a mother and was endlessly proud of her special little boy who was so rapidly becoming a such an incredible young man.
