Deidre Littell Obituary
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at Soldotna Methodist Church, 158 Binkley St., Soldotna. The Rev. Richard Whetsell will officiate.
Deidre was born Nov. 14, 1973, at Bassett Army Community Hospital in Fairbanks. She attended Soldotna High School and received her GED through Kenai Peninsula College. She furthered her education by attending a charter college.
Deidre spent most of her life in Alaska, living on Eielson Air Force Base from 1973-1976, in New Hampshire from 1976 to 1979, Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi from 1979-1983, Elmendorf Air Force Base from 1983-1987, Soldotna from 1987-1996, Fairbanks from 1996-2005 and the Fairbanks and Soldotna area from 2009-2011.
Deidre worked at Soldotna Opticians, KATN-TV in Fairbanks and Wedbush-Morgan Securities in Fairbanks. She was member of the Soldotna United Methodist Church, and in her younger years, she was active in the Girl Scouts. Deidre loved her two sons "Boo" and "Beaner." She loved to spend time in the garden and watch the flowers bloom each summer. As a tissue donor she was able to make life better for others.
The family wrote, "Her friends say they'll always remember her radiant smile and her crazy antics. She loved to cook and experiment with new recipes. To those who were close to her, she'll always be remembered as DDBird."
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, the Rev. Edwin A. and Dorothy Fivehouse.
She is survived by her sons, James of Rockport, Tex. and Jakob of Flandreau, S.D.; parents, Cindy and Bob Littell of Soldotna; sisters, Melissa Kline and her husband, Chris of Soldotna and Tamra Cokonougher and her husband, Brian of Fort Walton, Fla.; niece and nephew, Catie and Luke Kline of Soldotna and nephew, Bob Cokonougher of Fort Walton; uncle, Douglas Fivehouse of Tampa, Fla.; and numerous relatives on the East Coast.
