  Dee truly believed that family was the meaning of life. She loved her family deeply and her life revolved around caring for them. Dee was a very humble, kind, and compassionate person. She was born July 19th 1928 in Shiocton, WI, to the late Ed and Anna Sommers. Dee graduated from Shiocton High School and then worked at the Greenville Locker Co-op for 3 years. On July 12th 1949, she was united in marriage to Kenneth Carlton Strong and together they shared 62 years of marriage. Dee loved to quilt and made many beautiful quilted pieces over the years; she was a Eucharistic Minister, delivering communion to patients at the Wausau Hospital for 25 years and to shut-ins in Edgar. She played on a bowling team, volunteered at school or the Edgar Library whenever the need arose, delivered Meals-On-Wheels, belonged to the Edgar Woman's Club, and the St. John's Parish Woman's Club. She also made the time to enjoy many games of Sheepshead and listen to polka music. Dee worked with Ken in the grocery business for 40 years, starting in Greenville at the Co-op.
