Deanna K. Frame
June 24, 2011
Deanna Kay Frame was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, and friend to many. She fought a courageous battle against leukemia. Born December 3, 1940, at Sharpsburg, Iowa to O.C. ‘Babe’ and LaVon (Kirby) Lange.
Deanna graduated from Clearfield High School. She attended both Thompson’s and Sal’s School of Cosmetology.
Deanna was united in marriage to Claire (Dean) Frame on August 20, 1959. They were married nearly 52 years. Their marriage was blessed with four wonderful children.
She is survived by her husband, Dean; one daughter, Laurie Jean Yarrow of Polk City, Iowa; and three sons, Michael (Rose) Frame of Ventura, California; Wayne (Betsy) Frame of Ankeny, Iowa; and Kyle (Cindy) Frame of Boone, Iowa; two brothers, Richard Lange of Kent, Iowa; and Larry (Sandy) Lange of Coon Rapids, Iowa; as well as eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. She was preceded in death by her parents, O.C. ‘Babe’ and LaVon Lange.
Deanna was especially proud of her family and loved spending time with them.
She retired in 2006 from her job as Administrative Assistant for the Medical Review department at Cahaba GHA, where she worked for nine years.
Deanna had many interests including hairstyling, cake decorating, flower arranging, landscaping and sewing (she especially enjoyed designing and sewing wedding gowns and formal wear). She also enjoyed working in the garden and spending time on their farm near Clearfield, Iowa, where life is so peaceful and quiet.
Deanna accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in 1982. She was baptized July 10, 2005, along with her husband, Dean, and they both became members of Saylorville Baptist Church, where they were active in a Bible study group.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m., Tuesday, June 28, 2011, at Saylorville Baptist Church, 6429 NW 6th Drive, with burial to follow at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery. The family will greet friends two hours prior to service time at the church.
Memorial contributions may be given to Saylorville Baptist Church in memory of Deanna.

Deanna was a wonderful person and I was blessed to have her as my first cousin, in fact, my first girl cousin in my life.
Her family is wonderful and know will be sorely missed by them as well as me and my sibblings and parents.
I was very blessed to have her as my cousin. We did not see each other often. I know she was not well last time I saw her but did not know what was wrong with her. When I found out of her illness, I was devistated.
Our love and much sympathy goes out to Dean and the family, including her brothers and Larry's wife (Sandy).
I regret that I did not send flowers to her while she was in Hospice while she could enjoy them.
My heart is heavy with the loss of Deanna.
Lots of love
Jolene (Kirby) Fox and family

Deanna was such a great friend. I remember sharing many stories about our children, always something to talk about! She always had a smile and hug when one was needed. I have an arrangement she made for me and always reminds me of all my dear friends at Cahaba. She will be missed, what a beautiful woman she was....... My condolences to Dean and the family.

I am so sorry to hear about Deanna's passing. I spoke with her a few weeks ago. I will always remember the great times we shared at Cahaba. She was a very special person who was always there for you. Every time I look at beautiful flowers I will remember her and her special gift she had for making an ordinary yard look gorgeous. I am so glad I had the opportunity to share some of my life with such a wonderful woman. May God help you through this difficult time.

I graduated from Clearfield High School in 1957 and remember Deanna (and Dean) well. I saw this in the Des Moines Register yesterday.
Deanna was a pretty girl and I see she was still a beautiful person inside and out. It sounds like she had a wonderful family.
My sympathies are with the family.

So sorry to hear about your great loss. I remember the times when the family came to visit dear "Floyd and Zelda" on the farm and I got to play with Laurie. I am Jim and Ann Votava's youngest daughter and do cherish the times Igot to visit the Frame farm and family. I still live in Clearfield and from time to time go out by my folk's farm and your farm and reminiscence about all the great time out in the county!
With sincere sympathy,
