Born on July 22, 1927 in Spokane, WA, Dee was the only child to Kenneth Wilbur Kenney and Edith Laura Logan. She was adopted by Thomas Grant Ware, whom she considered to be her real father. After spending her early childhood in Spokane, Dee moved to Priest Lake, Idaho where she attended a one room schoolhouse. She returned to Spokane to attend junior high, skipping the seventh grade as a result of her advanced learning. Dee graduated from John R. Rogers High School in the winter of 1944. During High School, Dee met the love of her life, Tommy Marier; after graduation, the high school sweethearts married on April 10, 1944. Their loving marriage spanned 70 years and produced two sons and a daughter. Dee dedicated her life to her familyhelping with the war effort while Tom was in the Navy, traveling with her husband from city-to-city while he played semi-pro baseball, living in student housing while Tom completed his degree, and sewing curtains for the dorm rooms to help pay for his tuition.

A direct quote from Dee sums up how she lived her life: "If you have the interest, compassion and respect for people you deal with and your mind still works, then you should keep going.
