For years she worked the main Scone booth at the Puyallup Fair and spent a short time as a secretary to the Army during the occupation of Japan in 1946. Dee was the matriarch of the Walter and Josephine Smith family who have resided in the Puyallup-Sumner Washington area for over 122 years. Her great grandchildren were amazed at her baking skills and how she got those tiny designs on her chocolate cookies (they were Oreos!). She will rest at peace beside her husband Richard in their wall niche at the City of Sumner cemetery.
