Deanna Powell

DEANNA J. POWELL Deanna Jeanette Powell, age 83, passed away March 1, 2024 in Eldon, Missouri. She was born July 25, 1940 in Hamtramck, Michigan to Polish and Ukrainian immigrants Andrew and Jennie Haryluk. Deanna went to an all-girls Catholic school and her career plan was to become a nun…that is until her future much older husband Edward “Eddie” Powell would have none of it! At age 18, she married the love of her life Eddie on November 29,1958. He promptly took her to Los Angeles, California and in 1967 they moved to Huntington Beach, California, where they raised three children, Carol, Jane and John. She loved to talk to literally anyone and everyone about her children’s accomplishments. Deanna’s first loves were her husband Eddie of 56 years and her father Henry, closely followed by chocolates, figs and jewelry…lots of jewelry. She was also one of the home shopping channel, QVC’s. most loyal customers and they are deeply saddened by their loss. Deanna and Eddie enjoyed many cruises, particularly to Mexico and Alaska. She was also an awesome swing dance partner to Eddie, especially on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. They enjoyed dressing to the nines for these dances. At the jockey’s height of 4’11”, Deanna combated this with the highest of high heels possible, even with shorts! Sadly, her husband Eddie passed away October 28, 2015 and she missed him every single day for the next eight years. Shortly after Eddie’s passing, she and her adored daughter, Jane, moved to Missouri to the Lake of the Ozarks to be with her son, John and his wife Kim. Her plan was to launder money there, but this was foiled when her son and daughter thought Airbnb’s were a better investment. When Deanna’s dearest son, John. passed away October 26, 2023, she looked forward to joining him, Eddie and her dad in heaven. Deanna is survived by her daughter, Carol Powell and her husband Ted White; her daughter, Jane Powell; her daughter-in-law, Kim Nunemaker Powell; her grandson, Grant White and her granddaughters, Victoria Powell and Kristina Powell. All of whom she loved and touched deeply. In lieu of flowers, buy yourself some jewelry or chocolates—Deanna would have wanted this instead. There will be a memorial service at a later date in Huntington Beach, California, when she is laid to rest with her beloved Eddie. Arrangements are under the care and direction of the Kidwell-Garber Laurie/Sunrise Beach Chapel.
