Dee was a strong woman. She was a great mother who was very involved in her daughters’ lives. She worked as a secretary at Quaker Industries in the Tray Tables and Shelving area, and it was there that she fell in love, after being widowed, with her second husband, Ken. Dee attended Central Wesleyan Church in Holland and had many hobbies, which included, doing puzzles, dominating in Scrabble, and playing word games on her tablet.
Dee was preceded in death by her first husband, Hans Joseph Gorlitz, in 1961; and her second husband, Kenneth Wiedman, in 2013. Dee came to Freedom Village from Kenosha, WI following Kenneth’s death.
She is survived by her daughters: Susan & Robert Campbell, Patricia & David Longly; grandchildren: Mike & Barbara Campbell (Ian), Mitch & Emily Campbell, Matt & Sandra Campbell (Dan, Joe, Tom), Jaimie & Josh Cowen (Griffin, Sabine), and Brian & Jessie Longly (Zachary, Madison).
