Deanna Kay Sitchler

Deanna Kay Sitchler (Spann), age 55, passed away in Baytown, TX on Friday, February 26, 2016. She was born to the late Doris Elaine Bertrand and Donald Spann on August 17, 1960. Dee, as everyone knew her, grew up in the Houston area and only left for the occasional vacation. She was blessed with a son at an early age; so from the time she was old enough to drive or work she was always taking care of someone. She provided a stable and nurturing life for her son, and as he grew and began his own life, she focused her efforts on caring for the rest of the family. Dee provided love, friendship, and companionship to her grandmother, mother, and mother-in-law through their battles with ailments and old age keeping them comfortable and surrounded by loved ones through their final days.

Outside of caring for family and friends, Dee loved spending time with her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. She also has always had cats to keep her company, and they were certainly spoiled in return. Most of all, Dee loved her husband, James. He stuck by her side through a long battle with Diabetes and numerous other health issues, just as she had done for others.

Dee is survived by her husband, James; son, Christopher and his wife Tracy; grandson Nathan and granddaughter Brianna; sister Polly and her husband Larry; nieces Crystal, Kim, and Ashley; great-nieces Taylor, Bailey, McKenzie, Cora, Adison, Maya and great nephew Bryce.

Dee will be remembered by family and close friends at the Brookside Funeral Home, 3747 Eastex Freeway, Houston, TX 77039, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, March 5, 2016.
