Her friends were a constant in her life, especially Donna and Carla.

Dinah Lee was one of the most precious and beautiful souls ever sculpted by God. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She saw the best in all people. She was a devout follower of the Lord and saw this world and life in clarity that only a true believer in God could. She was truly a light in a dark world. Her words were words of comfort. Her touch was transcendent. Her love was unconditional.

Dinah Lee graduated from Broadmoor Highschool. After high school she attended LSU which would later lead to her becoming a registered nurse. She worked at Woman’s Hospital. She loved her children and grandbabies so much; they were her life. She gave so much more to others than she even gave to herself. She was an old soul and has left a trail of words, love, and wisdom that we will find throughout our lives.

We will miss our beautiful Dinah Lee in everything we do for the rest of our lives!
