Devon was born October 29th, 1996 in Norwich, CT and was god’s gift to her parents. She was diagnosed with Cerebal Palsy at birth, but spent her 25 years of life defying medical odds and living a life full of happiness and love. Anyone who got the chance to know Devon knew how special she was with her contagious laugh and ability to find joy in everyday moments like cooking dinner, gardening, feeding the animals at Horizons, and watching her favorite movies. She loved visiting her Gram and Pop and she and Gram would spend hours in the kitchen which was Devon's favorite place to be. She loved going on the boat and watching her brothers while they were tubing which would make her laugh.
Devon has been called by God to walk, laugh, and speak freely and will be lovingly remembered by everyone around her for her strength, determination, and positivity that inspired a deeper appreciation for life and love.
