DeAnn C. Williams

DeAnn was born in Freeborn County, MN on June 13th, 1967, to Lowell and Antoinette “Toni” Larson. She enjoyed playing piano and eventually went on to teach lessons to others. She liked to stay busy and enjoyed helping her dad on the farm. DeAnn received her degree as a court reporter while attending Jackson vocational school. This is also when she also met her husband, James. DeAnn and James married December 15th, 1990, and had one daughter together. After college, DeAnn spent many years working for several judicial systems, and another decade managing the local gas station in Dent. She had a contagious laugh, a genuine, big friendly smile, and room in her heart for pretty much everyone she met. In later years, her time was spent enjoying the sunshine, gardening, fishing for bass and sunfish, spending time with her youngest grandson, being silly, and caring for the people she loved.

Surviving DeAnn are her husband, James Williams; daughter, McKenzie (Brady) Schwartz with grandson, Vincent; parents, Lowell and Antoinette Larson; sisters, Sandra Larson and Catherine (Christopher) Olson with niece and nephew, Samantha and Alexander Olson; stepchildren, Molly Williams with step grandkids, Tyler and Katelyn, Matt (Katie) Williams with grandkids, Caden, Jackson, and Brody, Dylan (Taylor) Williams with grandkids, Brayden, Bryson, Breckyn, and Bristol; sisters-in-law; brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, and other extended family.
