Edwina was born October 15, 1956, to Charles and Doris Ross in Ponca City, Oklahoma. She was a passionate student, played clarinet in the high school band, was a fantastic water skier and graduated from Northern Oklahoma College.
She met her first husband, Garry Crain, while working at Conoco. They married and moved to Oklahoma City where they had two children, Linsi and Ross, and made many friends and happy memories.
She married Gary Deaton in 1999. Edwina was a devoted mother known for creating over-the-top birthday parties, beautiful cakes and event costumes. She will be remembered for her biting wit and sardonic humor, creativity, dedication to family and for being a fun and supportive coworker at the United States District Court.
