M eet Dee! A proud member of the Precious Moments Collectors’ Club since almost the very beginning, Dee Rodemeyer received her first Precious Moments figurine in 1978, “Love One Another.” She held on to just that one piece for four years. In 1982, when she met her husband Bob (whom she lovingly refers to
as “Mr. Right”), he began to give her more figurines. Every time he would go to Missouri, he would come back with a gift for her.

Today she has more figurines than she can count, with many of them displayed in a large cabinet in her bedroom. Bob also made a shelf that runs around the perimeter of the room to display more of her collection. HER FAVORITE FIGURINES ARE THAT VERY FIRST ONE AND AN EXCLUSIVE 9” PIECE THAT WAS ONLY GIVEN OUT BY RAFFLE ON A HAWAIIAN CRUISE. Only 100 were made and she won it in a secondary market auction.
