The family then relocated to Bristol and Deidra worked at Strand Kjorsvig Living Center in Roslyn in the social services department.

Deidra had a very generous heart with a never-ending compassionate soul. She was always willing to help anyone in need. It was her mission to help others. She loved time spent with friends, whether it be watching the Minnnesota Vikings or the newest episode of Yellowstone. She enjoyed Christmas shopping and had an extensive knack for decorating her home. She often was burning candles and listening to Kenny Chesney! She loved attending her girls’ sporting events and cheering on the Langford Lions! She loved giving and receiving back massages and cuddling with her girls snuggled up on the couch. Above all else, she loved her family, her girls were her world.
