Dee was born April 17, 1938 in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY. She was one of 12 children to mother Louisa Vasquez Dorsch and father Edward Dorsch. She grew up in Brooklyn and later moved to Long Island where she met and married her husband Harold Arthur Henry. They settled in North Babylon, New York and raised three children.

Dee spent most of her life dedicated to raising their family and making a home. She had many interests and hobbies with the biggest one being crafts. There wasn’t a craft she couldn’t master and she owned her own ceramic studio “Wise Owl Ceramics”. She later developed a love and passion for paper crafting, especially scrapbooking. She was a permanent fixture at Scrapper’s Playground, where she always had a smile and kind word for the customers, many of which became her friends.

Her and her husband eventually retired and split their time between Winter Haven, FL and Catawba, NC.
