Deane was born to Robert McDonald Earnest and Lizzie May Pickens on June 25, 1929. Robert died shortly before her birth and she was raised by her mother and LA Eddins.
Deane held many positions as a farmer’s wife, from loving wife to the hard-working field hand that she was. She loved the land and she loved the Lord for letting her use her hands in the soil. It was like therapy to her. She was a strong community minded individual. Her love for the Cobb and Brown Community was ever-present in her decades of service. She also was a loved and respected member of the Brown Baptist Church. Perhaps most importantly, she guided her entire family to worship and love God. She was and still is the backbone of the family. We thank God for her, and she will be missed, always.
