She was born November 20, 1924 in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Dee grew up in the South Park area, where she went to St. Patrick Catholic School and graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart. In her younger years she worked as a sales lady at the downtown dress stores and later at Tootle’s Dry Goods. Later in life she worked part-time at Townsend & Wall.
Dee met James R. Jordan after the war in 1946. It was love at first sight and they were married in 1947. James preceded her in death in 1995 after 48 years of marriage.
Dee was a member of the St. Joseph Cathedral Catholic Church. She was very active in the church, including St. Ann’s Altar Society and the Sewing Club.

The family would like to thank Riverside Place, formerly Saxtons for taking such good care of Mom in her struggle against Alzheimer’s.
