Obituary

While living she was able to become debt free and retired with millions in her financial portfolio. She is survived by her loving husband and successful well rounded son and extended family. She left her grandchildren generational wealth. Her family remembers her for good vibes, reliability, a go to in a clutch, and to always tell the hard truths. DDC was an active member in worship at Westside Baptist in Lewisville, Tx and Franklin Avenue Baptist in New Orleans, La. DDC started her first 75 Soft in 2023 then proceeded to live by the principles for the rest of her life. DDC wrote her memoirs discussing her life lessons and it was a New York Times best seller.
