After a previous marriage, Dee met and married Wayne Egan in 1967. Dee and Wayne moved from Pocatello to American Falls in 1973. They both became active members within the community until Wayne’s death in 2008. Dee frequently commented on how very much she loved living in American Falls and how much she loved spending time with her many friends playing bridge and attending Wednesday Happy Hours. She was blessed to be surrounded by numerous caring and thoughtful family and friends. Dee was truly an animal lover and she was comforted to know that her pets have been adopted into loving homes.

“I miss my mother so very much and find myself pausing throughout the day thinking “oh I need to call mom” and then sadly remember, she is no longer taking calls. Instead, I say a silent “thank you God” and commence to talk to her toll-free.”
