Dee Dee Hale - 2016 Biography

(Family)

I was widowed in 2000. Toughest thing I've had to face but my faith in God gave me healing and I am most grateful. I have two children, Greg and Dawn. I have 3 grandsons, Greg, Jr., 27,  Zachary, 17 & Joshua, 12. Greg, Jr. Is a combat wounded veteran of Afghanistan. I am so grateful that he is now healthy and in school. He loves playing baseball and is very athletic.  Zac (Dawn's son) is a senior and trying to decide where he wants to go to college not to mention what to major in. He plays baseball and is on the National championship target shooting team. They just won the title in Columbus, Ohio. Very proud! Josh(Dawn's son) is in 7th grade. He's a ladies man although he says he hates that! And he's quite the athlete as well. Plays baseball and made it to Florida state tournament.  He is now playing  Lacrosse.  All three boys are very brilliant and grandma couldn't be prouder! My constant companions are Gabby, a Papillon, and Tucker, a miniature Pinscher. Both pups are "A" personalities so I have my hands full. But....life is good!

(Work)

I'm retired from residential lending and banking in 2004 and went to cosmetology school. It's something I always wanted to do but my dad would not hear of it. I'm so glad I took the leap of faith at that point in my life and followed the dream. Loved it!!! I retired from that after 10 years to be with my kids and grandkids. Now I spend every free moment I can find with them and on the golf course. I'm not great but absolutely love playing. You never see anything but beauty on a golf course. It's always uplifting.

(Other Things)

I have always cherished my high school years in Gaylord as well as the life long friendships I have. I'm really blessed! Thank you all!
