We love you! You will be forever in our hearts! Dolores “Dee” Price, went to be with her Lord, on May 14, 2025 at the age of 94, surrounded by family. Dee was a humble, but strong, woman until the end. St Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4: 6-8 “...I have fought the good fight; I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness…” Dee was born on December 10,1930 in Decatur, IL, living there until graduating high school. She went to nursing school in St Louis, MO and graduated in 1951. She met and married her husband Jack Brown, Jr in 1952. They were married for 25 years and had three daughters. Dee loved being a nurse and helping others. During her nursing career, Dee worked as a surgical OR nurse at a number of hospitals in Illinois and Texas and as an Occupational Nurse for Friedrich Refrigeration in San Antonio, retiring after 26 years. It was at Friedrich that Dee met Leslie Price. They were married in 1986, adding three more children to her family. Dee, known for her love of family and friends and her hospitality, opened their home on Lake Placid to many over the years. Weekends, summers, and holidays were spent at the lakehouse, keeping families and friends close to her and each other. Dee loved attending events and activities including chili cook offs, NIOSA, Wuersfest, and spending time with friends at the Texas Ice. Dee’s hobbies included quilting, sewing, embroidery, cross stitching, and knitting. Her finished products were works of art and showed her love. The amazing Christmas stockings she made for family, friends, and children living at Boysville is a reminder of her love for all. Dee was a devout Lutheran from the day she was born until she passed. Dee attended St. John’s Lutheran in Decatur, Redeemer Lutheran in San Antonio, Cross Lutheran in New Braunfels, and Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran in San Antonio. Dee was involved in various church ministries, including Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) and the Quilting group, who made and shipped lap pads and quilts across the world for nursing homes. Dee loved this group and made many friends over the years. Dee was preceded in death by her parents William (Elsie) Tebussek, her brother Arn (Janet) Tebussek, her brother Ray Tebussek, both her spouses, Jack Brown, Jr. and Leslie Price, her grandson Anthony Alvarez, and her granddaughter Ricki Lane Price.
