   Deana was born in Danville to the late Earl and Sadie (Kilbury) Kimmell on January 24, 1954.

   Throughout the years Deana worked at many places, including the County Market Deli, The Vermilion County Courthouse, Fashion Bug, The Danville VA, and as a traveling photographer, making lifelong friends at each place. In her free time she enjoyed watching HGTV, feeding her hummingbirds, watching the squirrels in the backyard, and doting on her grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. She enjoyed making her house a home and was meticulous about how it was arranged, how it looked, and what needed to be done. Deana had a huge personality and owned every room she walked in.
