Dece didn't have a middle name. She was nicknamed after her father, D. C. Sharp, and that's how you pronounce it (dee see). When she was a baby everyone said she looked just like her Daddy so they started calling her "Little D. C." or "Dece."
She lived within 3 miles of the spot she was born her whole life.
