I attended Soldier Creek School with Willa.She was such a fun person to be around. I always enjoyed visiting with her at our school reunions. She will be missed very much by all. I am so sorry that she had to leave us all too soon. I know she is in a better place.

Willa Dean, a light that lit the room, always making a person feel special. We shared Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren with Willa. She just made a person feel they were part of her life and glad to be there. We will miss her warmth at the special occasions. But know she has never really left us, she will just be in another room at the top watching and enjoying as she has always enjoyed.
