She was an active member of her church and always volunteering at her children’s school. After the birth of her daughter, Courtney, they soon realized she had a life-threatening disease. After numerous appointments it was discovered, Courtney would need a liver transplant. DeeAnn went on to donate a portion of her liver to her daughter, they were the 13th couple in the nation to have this groundbreaking procedure.

It is no secret that her three children were her pride and joy. She was always there to support and encourage them every step of the way. Her shining moment in life was when she became a Grandmother. DeeAnn was a friend to many and never met a stranger.
