Message: I graduated from Newark High School with Deana. She and I were members of Tri Hi Y during our high school years. Every summer our group would rent a house in Rehoboth for a week. Fun times!! One year Mrs. Duncan chaperoned. Deana and I worked at Avon together in different departments. We lost touch over the years after Avon. I’m sorry for your loss. She will be missed!
