I remember the first day I met Deanie back in '98 when we were at PCA and I was training while waiting for Dr. Chaikin to arrive. It was her kindness and her laughter that drew me to her and we soon became friends. She was the most fun person to ever have for a "Secret Sister"--the smallest things would make her so happy and her whole face would shine when she would discover a new gift. I soon learned to play little tricks on her and would often send her on a scavenger huntlike the present in the freezer she thought was real ice cream It was really hard to keep under cover when she would so proudly show me each present she received. I will never forget how strong she was for me when I lost David and how special I felt when she blew me a kiss from across the chapel. When I was down she never failed to send a text, email or call at just the right time, or bring Aunt Susie's chicken soup to David. I am so blessed to have been touched by such a beautiful person. I will always love and miss her.
Wait for us in Heaven my SPECIAL friend.
May God's strength be with all who feel her loss.##imported-begin##Kim Childress##imported-end##

I first met Deanie in our Sunday School class at Rose Heights. I didn't get a chance to know her very well then. But, she happened to be on my floor Oncology at GSMC a couple of times. It was there that I got a chance to really know her. She was an amazing person. I only wish that I had gotten to know her earlier. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with you, her family, during this time. Shaundra##imported-begin##Shaundra Jones##imported-end##
I have had the pleaure of working with Deanie for 5 years. Everyday was a new adventure with her. We shared many many laughs as well as tears.She had the biggest heart of any woman i know. Her strength and belief in god has given me the strength and mind set to be in the hospital for close to 2 months now while my twins conitnue to grow. She made me believe that i can do this. She will be missed greatly and it just wont be the same without her smiling face at work. My thoughts are with the family even though i cannot be there in person.
Love
