Deana Jean Ellison Ginn
1954 – 2018
On August 8th, 2018 just after 5pm, Deana Jean Ellison Ginn of Edmond, OK took her last breath while surrounded by her husband, 3 children, and numerous family and friends. She was born February 27th, 1954 to Raymond and Juanita Ellison. Deana graduated from Crescent High School in 1973 and from there began her journey in cosmetology school. She met the love of her life, Alan Ginn, in 1974 and they were married on September 9th, 1977. Deana was a woman of God, strong in her Catholic faith. In her spare time, you could find Deana with her bible study group and assisting with mass services at her church. She was a hair stylist in Oklahoma City for over 40 years and would light up the salon with her smile and infectious laugh. Deana loved kicking off her shoes before getting on the dance floor and enjoyed attending concerts with Alan. She was preceded in death by her parents, Juanita and Raymond Ellison; sister, Ramona Glover; and brothers Kenneth Ray Ellison, Robby Ellison and Roy Ellison. She is survived by her husband of nearly 41 years, Alan Ginn; children Daniel, Kenny and Becky Ginn; daughter-in-law, Valerie Ginn; grandson, Mason Ginn and granddaughters Reese and Paige Ginn; sisters Quanna Sue Cronister and Shirley Blair; and many nieces and nephews.

Deana was my first friend, even before we started school. I am glad we are forever friends in God. Our birthdays are 2 days apart in 1954, so we celebrated birthdays together throughout the years. Love her dearly❣
Deana was a special person in my life many years ago. I will always remember the love she and Alan showed me. My prayers are with her family.
Deana was a faithful, faith-filled, loyal, funny, compassionate classy lady! I worked with her at McMurray’s Hair Salon and it was my lucky day when I met her. She was always doing something nice for someone else. May all the warm memories that the family has be of comfort in the days and weeks to come. She will be missed! Well done, good and faithful servant!
To Deana’s Family: I am truly sorry to learn of your great loss. I am certain you will agree death is an enemy of us all. It is comforting to know the Holy Scriptures contain a promise from God that death will soon be done away with (Rev. 21:3,4). HE also promises: “Many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up.” (Daniel 12:2) May meditating on these promises from God bring your family comfort.
