Deanna Jean Ellestad

Deanna came into my life when I needed the most help, and she had continued to take care of us from the time when my sons barely learned how to walk to now one is driving and another is learning to. Our dogs all love her.. she’s met them as puppies. She cried with me when we lost our first dog. One of our dogs’ highlights were the days that Deanna would come because she would always have some special treats for them and was always ready with cuddles. Each time I see her she would be full of stories. Some would say she had a tough life, especially recently with losing her dear sister and then her mom, but she seemed to be ready for whatever would come her way. She showed me and my boys the values of hard work, resiliency and grits. She’s truly a force of nature. Our family will truly miss her. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life, Deanna. Hope Bo will be there waiting to greet you as well.

Thank you for all that you have done for our family, Deanna. Praying for comfort for your family in this difficult time.

To all of Deanna’s family and friends, my deepest condolences. Though it’s been many years since I last spoke to Deanna I can’t help but feel a tremendous sadness in the loss of such a great friend. A 40+ year friendship that I will cherish forever. Dear Deanna, I will never forget your beautiful smile and laughter. You will always have a place in my heart ❤️ Love Dan Ezell
