I am a retired RN, retired in 2000 from Memorial Hospital after working there 27 years. I will always remember Dessie for her wonderful big smile and good nature with the staff and with patients. She often came to the floors to see the nurses, doctors and the rest of the staff. I worked on the Medical unit. Judy Paschen
