Processional……………………….Clergy, Casket Bearers, and Family
She was a faithful member of Horizon Worship Center for the past 25 years under the ministry of her parents, Pastors Billy and Deborah Hines. Deitra (Dee Dee) had a real zest for life. Her bubbly personality and enthusiasm was contagious. She could hold a conversation with anybody in reference to just about anything. She had a very strong artistic ability which has rubbed off onto her children. Dee Dee was sensitive, loving, kind, giving and FEISTY. Her departure from this life leaves a huge void because of how she was. Dee Dee had a deep love for her family and friends. Her life was centered around her children, whom she loved very deeply. She was purposed to raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ.
