Dawn "Dee Dee" Lee Dumond
March 6, 1960 ~ April 14, 2024
Resided in:
Standish, Maine
Standish - Dawnlee “Dee Dee” Dumond, 64, passed away on April 14, 2024 surrounded by family. Dee Dee was born in Portland, Maine, and grew up in Gorham.
Dee Dee had a deep faith in God and her favorite place to go was White River Christian Camp Meeting. This was her special God place where she went every chance she could. Ole White River has been a refuge for the entire family for generations.
Throughout her life, Dee Dee was known for her unwavering faith in God which provided her with strength and resilience through all the challenges she faced over the years. She became involved in ovarian cancer support groups and formed close bonds with others facing similar challenges.
A social butterfly, Dee Dee cherished time spent with family and friends, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come. She touched every person she encountered, no matter how short or long the time was. If she was dropped in the middle of 10,000 people, by the time she reached the outside, she would have affected 5,000 and the other 5,000 just didn’t know it yet.
Dee Dee is survived by her loving husband, Burt Dumond of Standish; and her five children, Kevin Wright and wife Heather of Waterboro, David Wright and wife Lena of Waterboro, Jamie Lynn Dumond of Westbrook, Ryan Dumond of Sacramento, CA, and Brett Dumond and wife Ashley of Scarborough; her siblings, Lorrie Dobbins and husband Melvin of Standish, Mark Wormwood and wife Donna of Fort Pierce, FL, Tod Wormwood and wife Jean of Fort Pierce, FL, Paula Fox and husband Jim of Gorham, Jay Morse and wife Jodi of Otisfield, and Heath Morse; seven cherished grandchildren, Mark, Rylie, Luke, Baylee, Ruth, Isaac, and Nathan; her father David Wormwood and stepmother Monique of Standish and her mother Sandra Mason and deceased stepfather Roger of Gorham; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Dee Dee’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at her cancer treatment center and Affinity Hospice, especially Jessica, Jodi and Roxi for their compassionate care. They are also thankful for the support of Sweetie Sue and Juliette, who provided invaluable assistance with her care.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Dee Dee’s memory may be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, PO Box 32141, New York, NY 10087-2141, or White River Advent Christian Camp, in care of Lorrie Dobbins, 24 Libby Pines Rd. Standish, ME 04084.
Dee Dee Dumond will be deeply missed but forever remembered for her kindness, strength, and unwavering love for her family and community.
A funeral service will be held to celebrate Dee Dee’s life on Monday, April 22, at 11:00 am at the New Life Church, 551 Alfred Rd, Biddeford. Arrangements are under the direction of the Conroy-Tully Walker South Portland, Chapel.

Loved them unconditionally.
Her relationship with Jesus and her family.
Dee Dee is my aunt.. and I have so many great memories with her that I am so thankful for. When I was little and would visit Maine for the summer, she always made everything fun! She had the BEST dress up closet and jewelry collection and make up too. 🫶🏼
Knowing your sister is like having had the opportunity to meet you and share in laughter and joy. Thank you for your gifts on earth to those you touched in heart and soul.
For those in Dee Dee’s family and inner circle, I want to express my heartfelt sympathies for Dee Dee’s life passing on this earth too soon! Knowing your sister for just a short while, it is clear to me that the energy and love you have for others is contagious with those you have touched. May you be surrounded by Angels and continue to live vicariously through those you have touched on earth. Blessings to those in your family who will miss you beyond words. I admire your life and it’s goodness from a distance and pray for your memory to live through others endlessly. Beth B.
DeeDee was the must faithful prayer warrior that I’ve ever had the pleasure to call me friend. She loved unconditionally and I pray that she knew how much she ministered to others perhaps even unaware. Her loving kindness and generous spirit will not soon be forgotten. I love you sweet Dawnlee. ❤️ Brenda Puleo
I’m sorry for your loss.
Dee has absolutely made the world a better place …. She has never been afraid to LOVE GOD OUT LOUD! She has so naturally and peacefully guided others to God. Thank you sweet Sister!
deedee was my aunt, even though i only got to see her once a year she was a bright light in my life everyday. unknown to her whenever i was going through a hard time her hugs and presence would life my sports. she truly will always be the brightest light in this life.
I am a cousin to Dee Dee. I used to babysit her and her siblings at White River Campground. She was a beautiful little girl and so sweet. I haven’t seen her for years, as I moved out of state, but from what I read from others, she was a shining light and this world will not be as bright without her. Rest well, Sweet DeeDee, until we meet again.
She prayed for me, and was there thru my fear of having surgery. She was a God send. So happy to have enjoyed her guidance and encouragement. ❤ I will miss her.
We met Dee Dee several times at family gatherings. She had a beautiful spirit that glowed in her eyes and smile. She was generous in her love of family, and she touched all of us with that love. The role she played in our daughter’s and grandchildren’s lives was special. May her gentle soul rest in the hands of God. We will miss her.
Heartfelt condolences to Burt and the whole family. I worked with DawnLee for several years at Aetna and she was a beautiful friend and coworker who will be missed. She was a warrior in her journey.
Dee was loved by all. when I worked at Fairchild with her and when her name was spoken it was always something nice. it was not unusual to here that she would take the time to help. I was very proud to say DeeDee was my niece. if u were with her most likely you were smiling or laughing. She is with her savior now. No more pain. We will miss her like no other.
DawnLee , affectionately known as DVD in her Aetna days is so special. She was my mentor and friend. She was a shepherd for GODs word and I loved her. She and Bert were ever so generous and kind to me over the years. Thank you so very much for welcoming me in your home.
To all of her family, friends, grandchildren, kiddos, in-laws, hubby I am sure you knew how much she loved you and was so proud of you all and I know for certain she knew how much she was loved.
Love Tammy Maurice
Miss you Dee.
Dee is My Sister. The one thing that has always stood out in my mind about is who she was in her core. She was never about things or money. Dee collected moments. Little tidbits of time with all her family and friends. She crafted Memories and stashed them away as treasure. And shared them freely with others. Each one of us that knows Dee has a place in one of those little treasures of a moment.
