Brian Sincomb posted today...

Delores (Dee Dee) Kay Sincomb, 66, passed through the gates of heaven peacefully at her home in Santa Clarita on Friday, September 10, 2021. She was surrounded by family and her husband of 46 years.

Dee Dee was born on January 30th, 1955 in Glendale, California. She was the 2nd of three daughters of Luther and Betty Morris.

She grew up in the Burbank public school system and graduated from Burbank High in 1974.

Dee Dee and Randy had three children Brian, Kimberly and Jason which gave them nine grandchildren (Rachel, Jessica, Briana, Lyndsey, Julianne, Timothy, Savannah, Jayden and Riley). Dee Dee and Randy were Christian, and brought their family up to learn about the Lord. This was the foundation of their family. Dee Dee was devoted to her family. She was a very proud and supportive Mother and Grandmother.

Dee Dee was a Homemaker that volunteered at the kids schools, church and charity functions. For several years her and her partner Linda ran a very successful holiday boutique out of her home that grew to a larger location. Her sense of design and creativity was one of her greatest skill sets.

Dee Dee’s relationships with her friends and family were unique and special. She had a way of making you feel like you were the most special person to her. She was always doing for others, especially when no one was looking.

Dee Dee will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.
