In 2001, she was living in Winnipeg, Manitoba,[2] where she taught at the university and worked for Health Canada.[3][5] She was killed in the September 11 attacks when visiting the office of Aon Corporation, where her younger brother Michael Egan worked in the South Tower of World Trade Center,[4][1][2][5] on the 105th floor.[5] Michael also died in the attacks.[2][3]
A memorial scholarship was created in her name to support Nunavut Inuit to pursue a nursing education.[3][6][7][8]
