Sadly,
in the year 2015, Dee Dee Pierce went into the hospital for heart
surgery and did not survive. The two RV Gypsies have been good
friends with DeeDee since the early 70's and she will definitely
be missed. Dee Dee was always happy and always laughing even though
she had a very tough life growing up. We love you and miss your
smiling face Dee Dee!
The Two RV Gypsies returned to DeLand in 2014 - and went to St. John's
Marina with DeeDee and Forest.
