Dolores “Dee” Ann Capone-Overholser, 82, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, surrounded by her sons. She was born to John F. Palmieri and Alice M. Gaertner on March 21, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois. Dee was a beloved wife to John Capone (d) from 1958-1971. Later she married Walter Wayne Overholser (d) from 1975-2006. Dee was a loving mother of John J. Capone, Daniel M. Capone, and Ronald Overholser; proud grandmother of Johnny Capone, Juliana Simms, Ashley Reed, Natalie Rodriguez, Danielle Capone, Anthony Capone, Savannah Overholser, Dane Overholser, and Serena Overholser; cherished great grandmother of Gianna, Luca, Lukas, Matthew, Aria, Scarlett, Sawyer, Selena, MiaBella and baby on the way. Dee had very close loving relationships with her many nieces and nephews.


Dee was a devoted Catholic and prayer warrior. Her most precious memories were times spent with her family and supporting her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in all of their events. Dee was a very thoughtful person and always wanted to give to others, expecting nothing in return. She even managed to be on time for every single birthday card and gift for all of her sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved finding treasures thrift shopping and never missed watching the Chicago Cubs game. She loved all of her dogs dearly; Cesar, Smokey Joe, Shawna, Barney, and Sheanna. Dee continuously connected people, places, and events through dates and numbers that she loved to share and others equally enjoyed listening to. She lived a full life and never missed a beat. Dee will be missed greatly.
