Deana Janine (Dink) Kirtley, 57, passed away on May 12, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was born on May 10, 1965 in Pekin, Illinois to Gilbert Dean Auld and Janice Melvin Balbinot. She graduated from Pekin High School Class of '83 and went on to work in Hospitality and as a school secretary for Calvary Chapel. In her spare time, Deana was usually enjoying one of her favorite hobbies, crafting.
Deana was preceded in death by her father, Gilbert. She is survived by her husband, Guy Kirtley; daughters, Danelle Alderman, Danielle Kirtley, and Alexandra Kirtley; son, Taylor Kirtley; son-in-law, Daniel Alderman; grandchildren, Makaila, Kaelyn, Kenslea, Anthony, and Dillion; mother, Jan Melvin; sister, Julie Shaver; brother, Jeff Auld; and nephew Jaden Auld.
Deana was one of the tinniest, yet toughest people those around her knew. She had the biggest heart and wanted to see the world smile. Deana was a 3 time breast cancer survivor and fought with everything she had till she couldn’t fight anymore. Her will to live was for her family, whom she loved with all of her heart. Her children were by far her greatest accomplishments (bonus children included), and her grandbabies were the apple of her eye. Deana had many friends and touched so many hearts throughout her life. She will be missed by all, and the love everyone has for her will have no end. Although our hearts are broken, we know she is happy – singing, dancing, and playing her air guitar right alongside her dad.
Service will be held on Monday, June 6, 2022 at 3:00PM at Calvary Chapel, located at 7175 W Oquendo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89113. If you would like to make a donation in Deana’s name, the family asks that you donate to the Susan G Komen Foundation or SAFENEST.
