Too many memories as an adopted member of the Threatt family. Dee was a sweetheart and it’s so very hard to believe she is suddenly gone from us.
My deepest sympathy to all my brothers and to Sonya, who I’ve known since early elementary school, and her family. Dee’s father was one of my father’s best friends. So our history runs deep.
My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you in the days ahead
Love to all,

Dee had been my friend since childhood…. We graduated from RMSH together…She was one of the sweetest, kindest people We’ve ever known! We are so shocked and saddened to learn of her passing…. George and Dee shared the same birthday and every year she never failed to wish him a Happy Birthday … To Charlie and family, we send our deepest sympathy and pray that you all are wrapped in God’s loving arms with His love and peace…. George and Stephanie Ramey

Dee was such a kind and sweet person. I worked with her at RBC Bank 10 to 12 years ago. She taught me to knit and always shared to most wonderful stories of her family members, whom she loved so much. I’m so sorry for your loss. ~Ruthie Edwards
The four sisters-in-law travelled together to the NC mountains to stay in my house there for a long weekend! We had so much fun and so many laughs! It was Dee’s first trip to the mountains and she was a boy nervous when we took a tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway, especially when we stopped at the overlook sites! It was great for the four “sisters” to have fun time to spend together! Now she is reunited with the two who have gone ahead! Hopefully one day I will see them again! I miss them all!
Dee was my favorite Aunt. She was always so kind and loving to me and my siblings. We love you Dee.
