Dee was born on April 27, 1930 in Schertz, Texas to Theodore and Anita (Achterberg) Schmidt.

Dee graduated from Seguin High School and was a graduate of the University of Texas, earning a bachelor's degree in Education. She went on to Southwest Texas State University to complete a certification in Speech Pathology. She was devoted to her job as a speech therapist for Seguin ISD and enjoyed working with her young students, combining her professional knowledge with her love for children's literature. Dee's greatest passion in life was her family, and her gentle, compassionate nature and willingness to do anything for family earned her the title of "supermom." She instilled her love for reading in all of her children and grandchildren, creating future generations of lifelong learners. Dee was a most gracious hostess, loving to entertain in her home. Travel was one of Dee's enjoyments in life. She, along with her husband, Al, traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. A favorite trip for Dee was a 31 day drive to Alaska through the Canadian Yukon. She will be remembered for her empathy, affection, and generosity, which had a positive and strong influence on the lives of her students, friends, and family.
