Deanna Lynn Seaton

SEATON, Deanna Lynn (Nee Martone) - With profound sadness and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of Deanna, a woman whose heart, spirit, and kindness touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She left this world on the morning of Saturday, July 11, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, generosity, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Deanna lived her life with a rare and beautiful passion. Whether she was caring for others, pouring herself into her work, or supporting the people she loved, she did everything with intention and warmth. She had a gift for making people feel seen, welcomed, and valued — a gift she shared freely and without hesitation.

Family was the center of her world. She was the steady hand, the comforting voice, and the joyful presence that held everyone together. Her home was a place of open doors, open arms, and open hearts. She welcomed friends, neighbours, and strangers alike, offering kindness without expecting anything in return.

In recent years, Deanna embraced life with an even greater sense of purpose. She set out to complete her bucket list, determined to experience everything she had ever dreamed of. She went parasailing, feeling the freedom and exhilaration she had always imagined. She took to motorcycling, loving the thrill of the open road and the sense of independence it gave her. And she traveled — exploring new places, meeting new people, and collecting memories that reflected her adventurous spirit. She was truly living life to the fullest, boldly and joyfully, inspiring everyone around her to do the same.

Her compassion was not just a trait — it was a way of life. She gave without counting, loved without limits, and cared without pause. Those who knew her will forever remember her gentle strength, her laughter, and the way she made even ordinary moments feel meaningful.

Beloved wife and best friend of James Seaton. Loving mother of Jessie O'Hare (Tayna), Madelynn O'Hare (Sarah), and Liam Seaton (Mya). Cherished daughter of Jennifer Martone and the late Don Martone. Dear sister of Teresa Martone, and Don Martone. Special aunt of Ella Martone. Niece of Jeannette Patola (Don), Tony Martone (Tessie), Enzo Martone (Sandra), and the late Gerald Humby (Brenda). She will be missed by her cousins especially, Debbie Hyatt (Gary), Mallory Palmquist (Christian), Devyn Hyatt (Jason), Tim Patola (Shannon), James Martone (Lakeisha), Tia Martone (Adam), Laura McMullin (Darrin). Her family will carry her memory forward with love, gratitude, and the promise to honour the example she set.

Marie, Ontario) All who knew and loved Deanna are warmly invited to join in remembering her, sharing stories, and honouring the beautiful life she lived.
