DeAnna was a very kind lady and had the best laugh. I know she’ll be terribly missed.
I will continue to pray for healing comfort for the family. Jules Bennett
I am shocked by her passing. I worked with her previously at WRMC. She was such a sweet person. She loved her husband and son very much. RIP DeAnna. I pray for her family and to let the healing begin for them.
DeAnna will be greatly missed. She was a great friend and one of the sweetest ladies I had the pleasure to know.
Earl, I am so so sorry to hear of this. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Bo
I’m so sorry Mr. Earl and I wish all your family my condolences I thought of you and Deanna as my brother and sister. We had many wonderful times together I will never forget her and I will always remember you in my heart Take care brother
A wonderful friend for 30 years and one great coworker. I am going to miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. DeAnna was always a special friend.
Our Dearest Sympathy in the Loss of Such a Sweet Lady. I know she will be Greatly Missed by All who knew her. My Wife had many procedures at WRMC when She worked One Day Surgery. She made checking in So Easy and Never met a Stranger. I worked with Her and Earl at WRMC for many years. May she walk in Peace Now and Walk in The Valley of Beauty.
Deanna was the sweetest person with just a hint of ornery 😉 and the best hugs ever!!!
When I changed jobs this month she came by and hugged me and said I’m gonna miss you and I said I’ll be close by, she smiled and said I know. And called all us youngin’s kid! This kid is going to miss you, you Sweet Angel!!! Much Love and Hugs to Your Sweet Family, God Bless Them!!!
To the Earl stokes family I am very sorry for your loss.
DeAnna was a wonderful friend.
So sorry about DeAnna. She was a very fine and sweet person who loved her family. Thoughts and prayers for all her family
There are no words to fully capture what DeAnna meant to us all and to describe the person that she was. Kind, unselfish, loving, devoted, fun, are only a few that come to mind, but they seem unworthy to begin to describe who she was and what she meant to those who knew and loved her. She made us all happier and better people for having known her.
My heart goes out to Earl and the entire family.
We are so sorry to hear about DeAnna. Our prayers are with you and your family.
DeAnna always spread joy where ever she was. She was loved and will be missed. We will cherish all of the memories we have.
DeAnna was one of my favorite people to work with. She made us laugh everyday, constantly teasing. She loved telling stories about her family; how ornery Earl was, how she enjoyed Amy coming over and just being there, and how Lyla is exactly like Sam as a child-a stubborn and sweet tomboy.
DeAnna will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family, you’re in my thoughts.
Earl I’m so sorry to hear this. I’ll be praying for you and your family. God will help you though this.
Deanna was a beautiful person, she will be missed by many. Heaven has gained an angel. Prayers are with your family and friends. RIP DeAnna.

Deanna was a great person, friend and co-worker. We’ve knew Deanna for 25+ years and couldn’t think of a nicer or kinder person. Earl, our hearts go out to you and you family. Sorry for your loss.
I just recently became aware of DeAnna’s passing. My brother and I (Rick Rose) grew up and went to school with DeAnna, Jimmy and Vicky. She was just the sweetest and most loving individual that you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing. We are all blessed to have known her and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Please know that Heaven has gained one very special angel.
