I don't believe I ever had a conversation with Dee where she did talk about the Lord. I always admired her. I know that now that she is with the Lord, she would not wish to be back on earth, but is eagerly awaiting her family to join her one day. Please accept our sympathy as you wait for that day!
Much Love, Dean and Debbie Forland

I am so sad at this loss of our last remaining Stahl/Hoffelt cousin, Dee. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with her Grandma and Grandpa Stahl, with her sister Patty that we tragically lost even younger, and with the entire Hoffelt family. I pray for peace and love to surround all of her family and may the good memories give you comfort in the future. Dee, may the angels guide you into paradise, where you will see God face-to-face!
Michelle Stahl (Bismarck, ND)
Sep 23, 2017
My sincerest sympathy to Doug and all Dee's children and grandchildren who were so dear to her. Growing up with our Stahl-Hoffelt relatives we had so many fun times playing with Deanne, her sister and brothers. We all grew up strong in Faith, her grandparents and parents being wonderful role models. Dee lived through many tough times, tragedy, yet continued strong, and growing even stronger in faith, closeness to our Lord, during events many others might instead feel abandoned. She clung to our Lord's strength and his Promise. Now this woman of such grace has moved on to her just rewards and I can but imagine her family welcoming her to Heaven with such love and joy. Such grace and beauty will be missed in this world by all

Black family,
I was sorry to learn about the passing of Dee. I met her when my family started church at Lutheran Brethren. One thing I'll remember is her infectious smile. Oh how it would light up a room. And her most giving and kind heart. She was a true gem. May God comfort you all during this difficult time. She is now at peace and with her king. My many condolences to your family. And thoughts of comfort are coming your way. Sorry again for your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We have such fond memories of the football years at VCSU, especially the playoff game in Texas. It was pouring rain, and we all were wearing trash bags. Only Dee could make wearing a trash bag a fashion statement, and look beautiful in it! May your beautiful and precious memories lift you up and give you peace on this journey.

Sorry I can't be there for Dee's celebration of life...God must have a special place for Dee in His Kingdom...her love and trust in God was immense, as was her love for her husband and family. You her family were as spiritual, dedicated and loving...and as a mother, that is what we want most! I wish I could be there celebrating Dee...she was absolutely beautiful inside and out! May God give you strength, during this most difficult time, and help subside the pain your all enduring... knowing you all did the best you could possibly do. God has received an angel...rest in peace Dee...pain free....AMEN!

gracious & welcoming,and after we had our daughters,,were so helpful,they became our adopted family. Deanne was always our sweet ,little Dee Dee. At Christmas time we looked forward to the family photo. She was so proud of all of you.
