Her brothers who preceded were Noma Baxter, Clint Baxter, Russell Baxter, Charles Royce Baxter and Richard Warner Baxter. Her sisters who preceded her in death were Inez Baxter Loftis and Georgianne Baxter Watt.
Dee Dee was always proud to tell the story of how in 1855 the early Baxter family had settled in and named the community of Baxter Springs, Kansas. In the years following the Civil War, the family moved to Texas, eventually settling in Bazette in Navarro County.
Dee Dee moved to Athens in the late 1940s after having lived in Wichita Falls and Wink. For many years she was employed at the Palace Drugstore on the Athens Square and often fondly reminisced about selling the drugstore's fine cosmetics. Dee Dee was quick to remind her family that she had never missed a Bazette Picnic at the Prairie Point Cemetery for as long as she could remember. She was a Charter Member of Robbins Road Church of Christ, now Eastern Hills Church of Christ. Dee Dee was a member of the Women's Business and Professional Association, Eastern Star and was a Charter Member of the Social Order of the Beauceant Assembly No. 172 of Athens.
