Dee was born on April 21, 1943 to Ralph & (Helen) Olvia Putnam in Rapid City, South Dakota. The youngest of three children she grew up in Quinn, South Dakota where she attended Quinn High School and graduated in June 1961. That summer her roommate showed her a picture of her brother, Richard in his Navy uniform and she told her she was going to marry him and she did on December 17th of the same year. Over the next few years their family grew and in 1973 they moved to Post Falls, Idaho. Dee loved helping other people and earned her CNA degree. Dee’s kind heart and compassion served her well as an assistant activities director at a local nursing home and then later with young adults with special needs. Dee was active in various organizations including 4H and Grange for a number of years. She had a very big heart and touched the hearts of those who knew her. Her kindness and light will be missed by many.
