Wherever she went, she was loved by all because of her sweet nature. She loved the Lord and trusted Him with everything. She loved singing hymns and was a huge Elvis and Johnny Cash fan. Deanie was a courageous, caring, kind person who was willing to help others at any time. She was a wonderful example to her children in many ways. At the request of Deanie, services will be private.
