A woman of many talents, Deanna had a passion for crocheting beautiful blankets, coloring intricate patterns, and creating one-of-a-kind ceramics. She was an adventurer who loved exploring new places through her fondness for cruises. She also found immense joy in playing Pokeno with friends-a pastime that brought laughter and camaraderie to all who participated.

Deanna's warmth, kindness, and generosity touched the lives of everyone she knew. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (www.nbcf.org) in her memory.
