Remembering Dee Ross

It is with deep sadness that we share Deanna “Dee” Ross passed away peacefully on October 30, 2024 after her courageous and hard-fought battle with breast cancer. She was surrounded by all the love of family and friends near and far.

A resident of Fishers Island since 2013, Dee was a valuable member of IHP’s team as an RN and home caregiver, fundraising volunteer, and, most recently, bookkeeper. For nearly a decade, she was the island’s unofficial 24/7 on-call nurse. She always asked how others were doing.

Dee was an integral part of the Island Health Project family and a friend to all of us. She will be dearly missed.
