Deanna Bridgeland, age 86, of Rainbow City, Alabama passed away on Thursday, July 11, 2024.
Deanna Arlene Bridgeland is survived by her four children, ten grandchildren, and an ever cascading list of great grandchildren.
Living a full life of determination Deanna began her adult life with enlistment into the Naval forces, receiving training, education, and skills as an LPN at the age of 19, and later reluctantly retired from her profession at the age of 81, an accomplishment she was most proud of. Deanna always diligently pursued the right thing to do, rarely hesitating to make decisions, often thinking on life, and religion.
She demonstrated mental acuity, agile wit, and always maintained a sense of humor she was never shy about sharing. She also possessed fortitude and a rare gentleness she expressed sparingly at a moment's notice as an endearing gift; whenever words were not enough her ability to provide was always on her mind. Her unwavering spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
