    DEANA FAY STRATTON, 56
    St. Cloud, MN
    August 13, 1955 - May 4, 2012
    
     Memorial services will be Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 11:00 AM at Crossroads Church, Waite Park, MN. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service on Saturday at the church. Funeral arrangements were made by Benson Funeral Home, St. Cloud, MN.
     Deana Fay Stratton, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a confidant (sometimes lol) and a great fighter Deana’s main attributes were her great love and kindness. She always opened up her home to those in need of food,water, shelter or just a listening ear. She had strong family values and an irreplaceable sense of humor. Her favorite things in life were Pepsi, fries that were not cold, flowers and her two “baby girls”.
     She was born in Oklahoma on August 13, 1955 and her days here ended on May 4th at 11:55 PM, due to complications of pneumonia in both lungs. She did not make it through resuscitation at the St. Cloud Hospital Emergency Room. Both her daughters were there and believe she heard them.
     She is survived by daughters; Treonna May Stratton of St. Cloud, MN; Anna Kay Stratton of St. Cloud, MN; one grandson; Kaiden James Lehmeier; brother, Rocky Stratton of Seattle, WA; brother and sister Monte Stratton and Binda Teague of Tulsa, OK.
     She was preceded in death by her parents, Merlin Stratton, Audrey and Don Reynard.
     She used to say “that’s how the cookie crumbles” which was unexpected as she had survived over three years past the doctor’s anticipated life threatening liver failure. She was and still is a fighter, but now fighting on the other side. She would say” I love you bunches and bunches to you all”.
