Hi, my name is Alayna and I am one of Deena’s daughters. My mother passed away last night surrounded by so many people that love and cherish her. She has left 6 children, 2 grandchildren, parents, sisters, nieces, nephews, and countless other friends and family members heartbroken over her loss.

My mother was an avid reader, amazing hairdresser, excellent cook, and the sweetest woman in the world. She would not hesitate to give you everything she had if you needed it and leave herself with nothing. She was hilarious, witty, smart, and caring beyond measure. Those who were loved by her were the luckiest people in the world. We are all broken without her.

We would love to have her cremated and to have necklaces made so that we can all continue to carry her spirit with us. Any help towards these costs would be appreciated beyond words.
