Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa., Dee attended Immaculata College and graduated with a degree in chemistry. She worked at Dupont Chemical before marrying her husband of 63 years, L.F. “Gus” Eggert. Together, they raised seven children while traipsing back and forth across the country and around the world during 32 years with the U.S. Navy. Dee packed and unpacked the household, and registered kids with new schools, sports teams, music teachers and scout troops during 25 moves in 35 years.

Dee loved the beach, books, travel and rare moments of much deserved peace and quiet.

She is survived by her seven children, 11 grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Ocean City on Wednesday, May 18. Members of the rosary guild will pray the rosary for the repose of Dee’s soul a half an hour before the Mass. An internment service will be held at the United States Naval Academy cemetery on Wednesday, June 1 at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family will be accepting Natural Lite and pizza to enjoy with family and friends while sharing happy memories of mom.
