November 26, 1955 – October 20, 2016
DeeAnn Reynolds passed away October 20, 2016, at the age of 60. She was born on November 26, 1955 in Seattle, Washington to Loren Dale and Dolores Jean Estell.
After graduating from Ingraham High School in Seattle, DeeAnn worked for over 25 years at the University of Washington, providing student support and assisting in their development as a Student Housing Custodial Lead.
DeeAnn attended the Christian Faith Center in Mill Creek, Washington. She was active with dancing, camping, girls’ trips, and making jewelry. She loved collecting clothing and accessory items, especially bags. Her favorite occasions were time with family and friends, and focused on building lasting memories.
DeeAnn was preceded in death by her mother, Dolores; and brothers, Eddie Estell and Gary Estell. She is survived by her daughters, Leslie Michaels, and Lisa Eggebraaten; brothers, Ronald Estell, and Brian Estell. She leaves behind grandchildren, Taylor Michaels, Hannah Michaels, Brielle Eggebraaten, Sadie Eggebraaten, Leilani Eggebraaten, and Greyson Rathbone.
DeeAnn was a brightly illuminated light in the lives of the many people she touched. She wore a contagious smile, always shared a friendly laugh, and offered warm hugs and kisses. She showed her daughters how to love, care for others, and help those in need. DeeAnn’s daughters loved going on a variety of adventures, outings, shopping, and other antics, with her. She sacrificed everything she had to ensure a wonderful upbringing for Leslie and Lisa, forming a very strong bond that not all mothers and daughters share.
DeeAnn was a very strong woman, fighting through pain and other health issues. She came to know the Lord, and learned to lean on Him with profound faith. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She is now in Heaven, dancing, and no longer in pain.
A memorial service is planned for Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the Christian Faith Center of Mill Creek at 10:00am.
2 Corinthians 5New Living Translation (NLT)
5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
