Lee and Karen Duquette returned to DeLand in 2014 - and went to St. John's
Marina with DeeDee and Forest. 
Sadly,
in the year 2015, Dee Dee Pierce went into the hospital for heart surgery
and did not survive. Lee and Karen Duquette 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!
