Washington on March 21, 1932 to LeRoy and Evelyn Seifert. She passed away peacefully on

restaurant called Let’s Eat Cafe in Edmonds, Washington. After retiring from professional life,

Dee enjoyed interacting with people while doing product sample demos in stores for the next

several years.

Dee’s passions in life were spending time with her family and pets, gardening, cooking,

She loved and married Dennis Regan from 1950-1951, Karl Danner from 1953-1968, and

Russell Brown from 1972-1978.
