Deva Dunigan
Tissue Donor
/January 13, 2025
Deva was a devoted mother to her beautiful son, Braxton, and an amazing wife to her beloved husband, Chattie. She was also a cherished daughter, sister, cousin, niece, and granddaughter. But above all, she was my firstborn child—the one who filled my life with immeasurable joy, love, and pride.
Deva’s incredible spirit, quick wit, and unforgettable sense of humor brought laughter to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Though she is deeply missed every day, her love, laughter, and beautiful memories continue to live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
