Born on August 14, 1944, in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Her days were marked by a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a steadfast devotion to God and to those she cherished.

Deanna was preceded in death by her parents, Douglas Mercer, Gladys Mercer Lastovica, and stepfather, Joseph Lastovica. Her sister Brenda Milliken, and Brenda’s husband, Chuck Milliken. Her brother-in-law Chuck Smith. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.

She is survived by her sisters, Lucille Smith, Rose Ann Cook and her husband Pat, and Carol Bartek and her husband Gary.

Deanna is survived by her daughter, Tina Richardson, and her partner James; and by her sons, Brian Seaman and his wife Diane, and Douglas Seaman and his wife Sherry. Her children were her greatest joy, and she carried each of them in her heart with unwavering love.

She was blessed with five grandchildren, each of whom brought immense joy to her life: Tessa Blaylock, Derek Gonzalez, Cody Seaman, Shelby Seaman, and Grace Seaman. She cherished every moment spent with them and held each one close to her heart.

Her legacy continued through her six great‑grandchildren: Bradley Winzenried, Ashlynn Winzenried, Christopher Pustjovsky, Bransen Blaylock, Rio Gonzalez, and Jackson Seaman. Each one brought light, laughter, and warmth into her later years.

She was further blessed to welcome a great‑great‑grandchild, Beckett Winzenried, whose arrival brought her immeasurable joy and completed five generations of love within her family.
