Born on June 27th, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, Dee was raised with her brother Bob, and her cousin Margie. She graduated from Lakeview High School, class of January 1957, and went on to graduate from the Chicago Institute of Art with a bachelor's degree in dress design. On June 11th, 1966 she married Donald "Don" Hrdlicka. They adopted their daughter, Deanne in 1972, moved to Minnesota in 1975, and lived most of their lives together in Faribault. After Don's passing in 1982, Dee worked in banking and as a Financial Worker with Rice County until her retirement in 2003. Upon her retirement, she moved to Rochester where she enjoyed spending time with her daughter and grandchildren, singing in various choirs, playing bridge with friends, and participating in a variety of activities at the Senior Center. In 2012, Dee moved to The Homestead of Rochester where she made an abundance of wonderful friends with whom she enjoyed quilting, dining, singing, playing cards, and delightful companionship. In June of 2017, Dee moved from the Homestead to live with her daughter and grandchildren. She was showered with love, surrounded by laughter, dined on her favorite foods, enjoyed good wine, and was visited by friends and family often. On January 18th, Dee was moved to the Seasons Hospice House in Rochester where she spent her final days.
