† DEE
Thomas Edward Dee was summoned home on September 14, 2024 by his Lord and Savior to join the love of his life, Marlene. Tom was born on September 2, 1933 in Williamsport, Indiana to George and Blanche Dee, the youngest of 8 children. The Dee family moved to South Haven, Michigan where Tom attended high school and met the love of his life, Marlene Stillson. Soon after graduating high school, Tom and Marlene were married. Tom joined the U.S, Navy, advancing to the level of Flight Engineer of PBM-5 Mariner Patrol Aircraft, stationed out of Corpus Christi, Texas. After an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, Tom and Marlene made their way to Ionia, Michigan to start a new life and family together. Tom attended Davenport College in Grand Rapids, earning a degree in Accounting/Business and was hired by the Ionia County Road Commission as Clerk/Office Manager. Tom retired in 1998 after nearly 40 years of service to begin a well-earned life of leisure enjoying friends, family and his favorite pastimes.
Tom was an active member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ionia, serving as Lay Reader, Deacon and Vestry member. Tom also served for years as accountant for the Ionia Free Fair. Tom enjoyed many creative pastimes, including woodworking, stained glass craft and activities such as basketball, softball and golf. Tom’s greatest pride were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, relishing visits and time spent with each.
Tom was predeceased by his father, mother, brothers, sisters, wife Marlene and son David. Survived by daughter Betsy (Greg) Adamus, son Delbert (Karin), grandchildren James (Katelyn) Adamus, David (Kate) Adamus, Garrett, Bryant and Erika Dee, great grandchildren Natalie and Milo.

Cathy’sRecipe Box
Hey friends, some of you may know that I love to share my family’s recipes with you on the Pinkney Hill Meat Co Facebook page and I thought why not share this way, too! I hope to help you with meal planning plus share affordable meal ideas for you and your family. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let’s share recipes! Send them to the Pinkney Hill Meat Co., Facebook via Private Messenger or email at pinkneyhill1995@gmail.com.
Let’s get going with these two that I make frequently during the Fall months. Mr. loves him some acorn squash and I “kick” it up with the following:
BAKED ACORN SQUASH
1 Acorn Squash, split in half and all seeds scooped out.
1 lb. Pinkney Hill Bulk Breakfast Sausage
2 Tbls. Butter
1 Tbls. Pure Maple Syrup
Place cut side down on a foil lined baking dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray of choice. Roast in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 30 – 45 minutes, until tender yet not fully cooked.
Remove from oven and carefully flip over and add the following per ½: 2 Tbls. butter (or margarine)
A scoop of Pinkney Hill Breakfast Sausage that has been browned and crumbled
1 Tlbs. Pure Maple syrup (I use our local Dusty Lane Farms maple syrup)
Cover with fork and place back in oven for additional 30-45 minutes or until the green outer shell is pierced easily with a fork. Serve with Pork Roast (recipe follows), and mashed potatoes for a hearty Fall meal.
ROAST PORK SHOULDER ROAST
Sprinkle all seasoning mixes over the roast and add 2 cups of water in bottom of the
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 2 to 2.5 hours (depending on how hot your oven bakes).
Check after first hour, if it seems to be getting too thick
