1946-2018
Deanna Svore Reynolds went to be with her Lord and Savior Friday, November 9. Deanna was born in Fargo, ND on March 4, 1946. She was adopted by Jerry and Ruth Svore. She went to High School in Dallas and attended Hillcrest High School. Deanna received her BS from the University of Oklahoma, and then received her Master of Education from the University of Central Oklahoma.
Deanna spent her career as a Special Education Teacher in Oklahoma City. She took pride in positively influencing the lives of young children and preparing them for the challenges they would face in the future.
Deanna was a committed and loving Mother and Grammy. She had a very strong faith in Christ, and attended The Crossing Church in Oklahoma City, OK. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends and had a strong sense of pride for her children and grandkids.
Deanna’s vivid personality and sense of humor could take over a room. Her laugh was contagious and you couldn’t help but laugh and smile while in her presence. She loved her Sooner Football, Thunder Basketball, and was an avid sports fan.
Deanna was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Ruth Svore, and her brother Don.
Deanna is survived by her children; her son Ryan, his wife Molly, and grandsons, Mason and Griffin, of Lenexa, KS; her daughter Stacey Hunt, her husband Dustin, grandson Grayson, and granddaughter Payton of Austin, TX.

We are so sorry for your loss and pray you have happy memories to carry you through this difficult time.
Wish I could be there! Huge hug from me…love you Reynolds family! So many fun memories…thank you Deanna!
I’m so glad I got to see Deanna two years ago and then again just a few weeks ago — both times at our Chi Omega reunion luncheon. Deanna was so beautiful inside and out. I was a year older so was an active when she came through rush — what an impact she made on all of us! Beauty and brains–wow. She was as kind as she was beautiful and her twinkly eyes just lit up any room. My sympathy and condolences are sent to her children and grandchildren.

There are no correct words after a loss, I struggle to find the right balance between sadness and memories. So I can only offer love; love for her family and love for all of the wonderful memories of her joyful, playful, self and her laughter and twinkle in her eye we all knew and we will always remember.
