Glenn and family, It was my privilege to know Dee through Stifel, Nicolaus and Jack Brown. I felt like we became friends there. She was quite a special woman and I know you will miss her immensely. Please accept my condolences. My prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Tricia Hanning
Glenn – We extend our sympathy to you and your family. Though we only were together a few times, we enjoyed getting to know Dee Anne and the fun times we shared with both of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Glenn and Family: We were so sorry to hear of Dee Anne’s recent illness and hospitalization and then her death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this experience. Until Dee Anne retired from WSU, I’d had the privilege of working with her as director of the LAS Advising Center for the past number of years. She was one of our long-standing advisors who could be relied on for good information, excellent relationships with students and staff, and a genuine commitment to her work and her colleagues. She brought mature balance to the office, especially during some of the transition in leadership in the past few years. I enjoyed working with Dee Anne and will miss her greatly. Sincerely, Gerry Lichti
