Deloris "Dee Dee" Washington was born January 2, 1961, in Washington, DC and departed this life on November 29, 2022. She was the third born of the late Herman and Elizabeth Washington. She lived most of her life in Washington DC and attended District of Columbia Public Schools.

Dee Dee was a true free spirit, always loving life on her own terms. She had an infectious laugh and a loving personality, with beautiful hazel green eyes that lit up any room. She had a passion for all types of music, but if there was anytime she heard any LTD song, Chuck Brown's "Bustin' Loose", Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" or Jeffrey Obsorne's, "Back Together Again," you will always see her laughing and dancing away. So, Dee Dee smile and dance into "God's pearly gates." I know our mother and father will be happy to see you again. Be at peace and rest on. We love you and you will forever be missed and cherished.

She is survived by two daughters; Latoya and Victoria Washington of Richmond, VA.; three sisters; Mary Dickey (Roy) of Gaithersburg, MD., Shirley Wooten of Tappahannock, VA, and Karen Richards (Adam) of Suitland Maryland. one nephew; Roy Dickey Jr. (Shantay) and their son, Xavier Dickey of Accokeek, MD.; one devoted niece; Royale Dickey of Gaithersburg, MD. and her son, Darrion Clemons.

She is also survived by her step-niece Kia Wooten and step-great nephew Amarr M. Wooten of Los Angeles; devoted cousin, Joann Washington of Temple Hills, MD.; two uncles William Washington of Northern, VA. and Julius Washington (Gloria) of Bowie, MD.; one aunt Kate Harvey of Washington, D.C. and a host of cousins and friends.
