I too worked with Deirdre on Marconi. I haven’t seen her in many years, as I had moved away, but thought of her often. Such a kind and loving person, and I will always remember her laughter. My prayers to the Reilly family

Dee was the first person I met when I came to the AT&T AOD (Automated Outbound Dialing) office on Marconi in Sacramento. She made me feel so welcome and helped me through the difficult orientation process. I will always remember her kindness, her wonderful and infectious Joie de vivre, her friendliness, her smile and laughter and most of all her beautiful soul.

Dedee was my gift from God when my daughter died.
We worked together on Marconi in 1989 and my 6 mo daughter, Alexandria, passed away unexpectedly, Dedee came to my house and sat with me for hours. Not always talking but just there allowing me grieve. Her presence that day was her way of reminding me I’m not alone. She was a beautiful women to know and a blessing I often reflect on.
I pray our Lord will give you a peace and hold you in His arms as you grieve.
Trust in Him
