Danet Lynn (Shaffer) Egan

Danet Lynn Egan, 64, passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, Friday, June 26, 2020.

She was born March 11, 1956 in Shelby, Ohio to Jack Edward Shaffer and Mary Ann Smith

Shaffer Patterson. Danet was a precious surprise to her family as the younger identical twin to

Denise. The twins were proudly welcomed home by big sister, Tammy and big brother, Kim.

Danet loves Jesus! She married her sweetheart, David Bruce Egan on May 17th, 1975. They

recently celebrated 45 years of marriage. Together they raised Shawn Robert and Lindsay

Renee. They were honorary parents to many. The Egan family were members of Maryland

Community Church and attended Agape Christian Church when their children had grown.

Danet was a class officer and graduate of the Terre Haute South Vigo Class of 1974. She often

spoke of working at Luigi’s Pizza, and Donnelly Directory. Most recently she retired from Miller

Business Solutions. She was actively involved with church youth groups, Sugar Grove PTO,

and Girl Scouts to support her children and grandchildren. She was a Kids Hope mentor, a

Bunco Babe, and known across the United States and Mexico for her No Bake Cookies. Her

biscuits and gravy ruined us for all others. Danet’s turkey and dressing is another family

favorite.

She was preceded in death by her parents, two stepfathers, Arnold Abner, and Roy Patterson

and brother in law, James “Bubba” Montgomery. Danet is survived by her husband, David

Egan, children Shawn (Jennifer) Egan, Lindsay Egan, and grandchildren Bretton, and Madi

Egan, sister Tammy Fish, brother Kim Shaffer, twin sister Denise Montgomery, many nephews,

nieces, and special friends also known as “The Bunco Babes”.
