RIP Mamma Deese

[chknwing]

Today, we share very sad news that one of our beloved Deputies passed away this afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Sylvia Deese affectionately known as “Mama Deese” suffered a medical event early Friday while working off-duty. Deputy Deese will be missed by her MCSO family, the community she served and her Carolina Panthers family as she spent many years working off-duty for the team. Our deepest condolences go out to her son who works as a dispatcher with MCSO and her husband. Please keep the Deese family in your thoughts and prayers.

Sad news. I’ve got a pic of her fake arresting me outside of the stadium. She also had Hornets season tickets next to me a few years ago. Cool lady. Prayers to her husband Gene. RIP.

I had an opportunity to meet her few weeks ago at my kids daycare.  She occasionally takes up a shift as a security for daycare.  Extremely happy and upbeat human being.  RIP Mamma Deese.

Terrible news and she was an amazing lady for those of us that got to know her over the years. Prayers to the family and MCSO for comfort and strength. Mama Deese will be missed.

I’m sure that’s her. She wow smile at me every morning as if she knew me. And this was just in passing as I would drive by. I can remember feeling bad for her a couple of times seeing her out in the rain.

Very sad news. 

My previous employer partnered with the panthers on many occasions and Deputy Deese would be at many of these events that I worked. She would either be working or with her family off duty supporting the team. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and outgoing. On game day, she worked the entrance to the players lot near the row of portapotties and I would go speak to her - you could tell she loved people and her job. RIP.

Wonderful lady. Went to college and am friends with her son. Was loved by many.

Mama Deese was great. She worked off duty for a few of our restaurants and was like part of the family. She would bring snacks to the staff, knew their kids and families. She was one of the best out there!
