It was my privilege and joy to have worked with Deanna at CLC for my 20 years at the main campus.
She was a wonderful, loving , fun person who showed much kindness to others. My husband, Chuck and I offer our prayers to Jerry and the family. You all have a wonderful Guardian Angel watching over you now. Vicki
Jerry and Family, I simply have no words to express my sadness at Deanna’s passing. I’m happy I was able to join both of you, along with Rose Peck, for lunch several months ago. And Deanna still had the beautiful smile I remembered from so many years ago and seemed happy to be at lunch with all of us. You were so blessed to have had such a long and happy marriage with your special lady. May God keep her wrapped in His loving arms and eternal Grace, and May He comfort all of your family, as well as Deanna’s siblings and extended family. and friends.
So sorry to hear this. She was a great person and got along with everyone. She will be missed. Our prayers go out to the Jerry and the rest of the family.
Jerry IM HERE FOR YOU ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY .
Dear Hinkley family, my sincere condolences on the passing of your lovely mom. She was a fixture in my life as I grew up in Grayslake, at the UP Church, and going on those fun summer canoe trips. Your friendship during those years means so much to me, and I share your sorrow on her passing. May she rest in peace knowing how many lives she touched so positively, and how much she will always be loved and adored by her family and friends. Love, Gail (Cesaroni) Condon, Littleton CO

I had the pleasure of working with Deanna for over 20 years. She was a joy to work with, not only was she kind and caring but smart as a whip. She was fabulous with students and her smile lit up our department. She will be sorely missed by family and friends.
