I have so many wonderful memories with all my older cousins including 'DeeDee'. Deanna never seemed to mind having her little cousins bug her and hang out with her even as a teenager. When her and Grandma Kelley were neighbors I stayed with Grandma for just a few short weeks. In that time I walked over and hung out with Deanna and Bryan. She always told me 'I was always welcome!'. I remember her and Trudy talking about going to the 'Westerner' and I always wanted to be old enough to go with them. I'm pretty sure they even dragged my mom (Aunt Sharon) and Aunt Sandra out a time or two. Deanna always had such a kind heart and soul and loved her family. She will be truly missed. Prayers and love being sent from Washington.
