This memorial website honors our loved one, Dee Surta, who lived her life with courage and passion. We welcome you to leave a tribute to Dee, share your fond memories and stories, or add pictures to the gallery.
I worked with Dee about 17 years ago at Ball seed.
She taught me alot of things from proper catering set up (she about had a heart attack when I told her I use disposable ware for holidays!), NOT to mix chemicals, paying attention to how much coin is being dropped into our "honor system" bowl at the register, setting up a salad bar in lightening speed, making GREAT desserts & always NOT wanting your boss to do your job when you where on vacation.
I think of her often through out the years & I am sorry to hear of her passing, my thoughts & prayers go out to her family & friends ~ I am honored to have known her
R.I.P. Dee! xoxooxox
Kathy's MOM and my son Rick's mother-in-law.
She welcomed me into her family with open arms no question asked!!
Not too many people can say their kids in-laws can have a great time together.
The Tan-Tar-A trips to Osage Beach at the Lake of the Ozarks were the best! Dee and Paul would get an estate home for all the clan, which included their children and their families, and friends. Several had boats and we could be out on the lake all day long and into the evening. Stopping at different bars along the way. The place that will always stick with me is Big Dick's Halfway Inn. All the gang kept telling me was drinking a minnow was the way to go and sweet potato fries. I loved the fries, but no drinking a minnow, which I believe most the fellows did not sure if Dee did. Lots of fun!!!
All her parties were over the top!!!
She produced some wonderful and caring children. Tony, Chris, Paula, and Kathy are the best ever! We share the best ever grandchildren, Rowan and Felicity.
Thanks Dee for being so generous, fun, and caring. I will love you forever and miss you.
Your buddy,
Joyce
One more thing! Dee was Paul's bride. He called her that so often. I thought that was so neat.
I knew Dee through my friends Paula and Dave Porter. She was always very nice and warm to me and I enjoyed her company. She brought a certain class to any gathering I was at with her. She had more class than the Queen of England. There are going to be some real nice parties up in Heaven now that Dee is there to run things.
