couple found the perfect home on Martiny Lakes in Mecosta, MI. They once again 
established their home "up North" and began a wonderful relationship with other 
people on the lake. Together with her hsband, the couple enjoyed afternoons on 
the pontoon fishing and socialzing with their friends who gave her the nickname 
"DeeDee". After wonderful years, Deanne and CHarles once again returned to Barry 
County settling in the Woodland area.

being injured, she finished her education at Kellogg Community College and began 
working as an administrative secretary at Steelcase. Deannie worked faithfully 
for over 10 years before retiring in 1994.
