A long loved part of SaddleBrooke One’s Golf Pro Shop has made a milestone. Dede VanBooven Crowder is 70!
On June 18, she was surrounded by her loved ones including her son, Tyler, daughter, Misha, granddaughter Peyton, husband Doug, and her in-laws Lora and Dave Jackson for some festivities.
Dede has been a part of SaddleBrooke since 2014 and has made an impact in so many people’s lives. If you are a golfer you no doubt have had some sort of interaction with her, either on the golf course or in the pro shop. If you are not a golfer, I’m sure you have seen her about the community. She exudes light and joy. Dede is the first one with a wave, a smile, a compliment or to help in every situation she encounters. She walks her beloved dog, Dawson, every morning with a spirit that makes you want to know her. Those who are lucky enough to call her your friend are the most blessed humans around. She lives with her husband, Doug, who is fortunate to call her his wife and life partner.
If you see this amazing woman, please go and congratulate her on making her milestone, and hopefully you will walk away with a new best friend.
