Dierdre Kay Blanton, age 61, a resident of Lake Villa, passed away on July 14, 2023 at her home.  She was born March 30, 1962 in Waukegan to Floyd and Wanda (nee Stewart) Robison.

Deedee was a strong woman with a heart as beautiful as as she was. Her greatest love was family, she loved fiercely and took care of those around her. Her greatest joy was her grand babies, she was their best friend and incredibly proud of each one of them. 

In her final days she was surrounded by the love of her family and friends. Deedee will be missed terribly; but lives on through the memories/stories we share.
