Deanna Carole LaFevers

Deanna Carole Daniel LaFevers, 75, of Bryant, died Monday February, 4, 2019. Born March 11, 1943 in Bauxite, Arkansas, she was the daughter of Wallace Robert McDorman and Mary Frances Caple McDorman. Deanna's dad was serving our country in the South Pacific during World War II and didn't see his daughter until she was two years old. Her mother referred to Deanna as her little war baby. Deanna graduated from Mabelvale High School in 1961 where she was a cheerleader and homecoming court maid of honor. She was a lifetime member of Primrose United Methodist Church. Most of her life, Deanna was a loving wife and mother, but did earn her real estate broker's license and had a brief career selling real estate. A people person, Deanna genuinely loved people and was loved in return. She truly was one who never met a stranger and would strike up personal conversations with people like the person in line with her at the post office. She loved traveling, flowers, home decorating, and shopping, but most of all she loved her family and surprising people who didn't expect it with a comment to make them smile and giving them small gifts on holidays and sometime just to make their day. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Reggie, uncles, Everett (Doc) Caple, and Harold, John Henry, Fred and Dorman McDorman; aunts, Melba Beaty, Alice Varnell, and Jean Baxley; and nephew, Chris Claypool.
