Dee was a lifelong member of the Catholic Daughters of America, a founding director of Siouxland National Bank, a meals on wheels volunteer, a eucharistic minister, a member of the Legislative League (for spouses of elected officials) and an incredible bridge player. She and Pat traveled the world with his job as a state senator and as a State Farm insurance agent. She was beautiful, kind, funny and had a spine of steel.
