Deanna met Dennis, the love of her life in 1964. They married shortly after and were married for 57 years. It was truly a love story to be remembered. Deanna was a devoted Christian and attended Victory Baptist Church for 50 year’s. She never missed a chance to make a cheese ball or a cherry tart. Deanna’s passion was taking pictures of her family. Her family knew at every gathering they were not getting out of there without hearing “Let’s take a group picture”. She loved spending time with her 3 sisters, shopping, going to Branson, and visiting their childhood home in Atkins. Once Deanna’s grandchildren were born, nothing else mattered. They were her life, her pride and joy. She was the best Meme, always spoiling with ice cream, candy and hugs.
Deanna was preceded in death by her father, Chester Baker, mother Lesola Baker, and brother Danny Baker. She is survived by her faithful and loyal husband Dennis Grimes of 57 years, daughter, Tracy Ingle, son Dennis Ray Grimes (Ann), three wonderful sisters, Jean Fletcher, Linda Griffin, and Martha Reddell. Deanna is also survived by 4 grandchildren, Renae Davidson (Chris), Kansas Ingle, ShelbyAnn Warren (Austin), Andrew Ingle (Maddie), and Dylan Grimes, 4 great grandchildren, Tyler Thrift, Ivy Davidson, Baylee Davidson, and Maizie Warren.
