Delores (Dee) Diane Mongeau was born at the Phillips County Hospital in Phillipsburg, KS on October 28, 1956. She passed away on September 9, 2024 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska surrounded by her loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest.
Dee graduated from Logan High School and went on to further her education at Colby Community College. She took some additional courses, online, later in life.
Wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend. These are many of the titles Dee carried with her throughout her life. Not only was she a mother to her children, she was also a foster mother to several and a mother figure to many of her children’s friends.
Dee met the love of her life, Bert, at a singles dance held at the American Legion in Agra, KS in 1986. They were united in marriage on January 30, 1988 at the Catholic Church in Phillipsburg, KS.
Dee spent a majority of her working life in accounting and inventory for oil and gas companies, with the last several years doing accounting work for the family’s company, B&B Redimix. She loved to travel around to her children’s activities; she was their biggest cheerleader. Being a grandmother was something she adored.
Dee was a lover with a big, giving heart. She wore her heart on her sleeve and loved her family and friends endlessly. She was always just a phone call away and was happy to lend a listening ear. She also loved animals, including her most recent pets: her dog, Cookie, and her cats Uno, Blue, and Tabby. Her care also extended to numerous farm and sick animals she would nurture back to health. Dee’s hobbies included reading, knitting/crocheting, canning, putting puzzles together, baking, gardening, playing the piano, and playing candy crush. She had a great love of flowers and enjoyed spending time each spring and summer outside taking care of her flower garden. Dee also spent a great deal of time volunteering through 4-H, serving as a club leader and helping with the dog project. She loved to collect anything with wolves. Dee was the glue to the family and her closest loved ones had the pleasure of seeing her feisty side come out from time to time.
Dee is survived by her husband, Bert; children Shane and wife Hannah of Glade, KS; Jodie and husband Ryan of Glade, KS; Kristy and husband Danny of Stuttgart, KS; Nathan and wife Kelly of Conroe, TX; brother Darrell and wife Deb of Stockton, KS, sister Brenda and husband Ronnie of Phillipsburg, KS; 8 grandchildren, Jeremiah, Katy, Allison, Trevor, Morgan, Quinley, Ella and Knox. She is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Elizabeth Brobst.
We will always carry her memory in our hearts.
