Deanna Unsell, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and faithful follower of Christ, passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior on November 9, 2025.

Born on June 24, 1965, in Central Valley, California, Deanna was the cherished daughter of Robert and Marlene Adams. A lifelong and passionate believer, she lived her life grounded in her faith and guided by her deep love for Jesus.

For the past 30 years, Deanna made her home in Oklahoma, where she and her husband, Robert Unsell, built a beautiful life centered around family, faith, and love. She was the devoted wife of Robert, the proud mother of four children, and a deeply loving grandmother to four precious grandchildren, each of whom she adored and prayed for daily.

Throughout her life, Deanna’s trust in Jesus never wavered. Her laugh and smile were contagious, and her kindness and compassion reflected the heart of the Savior she served so faithfully. She had a rare gift for making others feel seen, loved, and welcomed.

Deanna’s life was a living testament to her faith, her strength, and her unwavering love for her family. Her legacy of laughter, light, and steadfast devotion will live on forever in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Robert Unsell, her four children, and her four grandchildren.

A celebration of Deanna’s life will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the Edmond Seventh-day Adventist Church on Danforth Road in Edmond, Oklahoma. All who wish to honor and celebrate her life are warmly invited to attend. Light refreshments will be provided following the service for those who wish to stay and visit.
