Delores "Dee Dee" Ann McGuire

Delores "Dee Dee" Ann McGuire, age 73, passed away on April 28, 2024 in Bloomington, Indiana. She was born on June 7, 1950 to Elmer Carl Daupert and Eula Jean (née Oden) Daupert in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dee Dee was a graduate of North Central High School and attended Marymount College in FL. She received her BA in Sociology from Indiana University and later went on to earn a Nursing Degree from Indiana Vocational Technical College. Dee Dee worked a varied and fulfilling career in nursing, starting with working at the NICU at Riley Children’s Hospital in which she worked with babies under two pounds. After moving to Bloomington, she spent some time working for doctors who had private practices and eventually worked for Bloomington Hospital. One of her most memorable job experiences was working as a private duty nurse and caring for many individuals who needed at home care, including IU Chancellor and President, Herman B. Wells; whom she assisted for over 13 years. Dee Dee retired as nurse for a cardiologist, as she decided to take on her most treasured calling—becoming a mother. Dee Dee absolutely adored her family and relished her time caring for her two children as they grew up. This unconditional love for her family only grew after her grandchildren were born and she doted on her beloved grandsons. Dee Dee enjoyed spending time outdoors doing activities such as boating, hiking, swimming, and running. She also was an avid racquetball player, making many friends through her love of the sport. She even won the City Racquetball Tournament while eight months pregnant! Survivors include her beloved husband, Terry McGuire; her son, Michael Joseph McGuire; her grandsons, Payton and Parker Hutchins; her sister, Donna (Tom) Johnson; and her son-in-law, Kevin Hutchins. Dee Dee was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Deana Daupert. She also has been reunited in the loving arms of her daughter, Sarah Melissa Hutchins who passed on February 23, 2024. Services will be held at 1:30 PM on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the Christ Community Church, 503 S. High Street Bloomington, IN. Allen Funeral Home and Crematory have been entrusted with arrangements.
