Deanna Susan Bickley Iskowe

Deanna Susan Bickley Iskowe, 70, of Franklin, TN, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2021 in Nashville, TN following an extended illness. She is preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd Bickley and Virginia Goodwin, husband David Iskowe, and daughter Mistye Meador.

Deanna Susan Bickley was born in Tacoma, Washington to Lloyd Bickley and Virginia Goodwin on April 23, 1950. Exhibiting her true determination, Deanna obtained degrees from Middle Tennessee State University and Belmont University School of Nursing. She was a licensed CPA, an awarding winning Insurance Agent, Finance Manager for EnableComp, Real Estate Investor, and Developer. Deanna’s true passion came later in life by providing alternative healthcare.

Deanna was adventurous. Her positive energy was undeniable and was exhibited in her many hobbies and interests. She enjoyed traveling, personal growth, nutrition, magic and especially dancing. She will always be remembered as playfully dancing to “The Twist”. Deanna traveled to see her family often. She especially loved traveling with her son Todd and grandson Wyatt.

Deanna is survived by her son Todd Meador; daughter-in-law Andrea Wilson; grandson, Wyatt Meador; brother, Joe Bickley; sisters Ruth Bickley (Jerry Newman); Nina Olive (Bunn); Nephews Jeff Bickley (Denise); Greg Bickley (Laura); and niece Carla Trepper (Justin).

A Gathering of Family and Friends/Visitation/Viewing will be from four until seven in the evening on Friday, January 22 at Woodlawn Roesch Patton Funeral Home. The gathering will be held in the Dogwood Suite. For everyone's safety, this large room will be limited to 25 people or less at all times.

A Celebration of Life Services will be held Saturday, January 23, at two o'clock in the afternoon in Dignity Hall at Woodlawn Roesch Patton Funeral Home. For everyone's safety, the room will be limited to 50 people inside the chapel. This should provide a good amount of space for safe social distancing and the room has high vaulted ceilings. We don't expect having over 50 people in attendance, but we don't want to disappoint anyone due to lack of space.

A Graveside Service will follow at Woodlawn Memoria Park. This will take place OUTSIDE so everyone can spread out to their comfort level. Meet at Funeral Home at 2:45 for funeral procession.
