Deana Lenore Farley was born in Clinton, Iowa on October 13, 1939, the daughter of Ernest and Wilma (Bailey) Masse. She graduated from Clinton High School. Deana married Robert Metzler in 1978 in Pekin, IL. She later married Leland Farley in 2003 in Clinton. Deana enjoyed fishing, photography, and making her own greeting cards.
Deana is survived by her children, Kellee Mumm of Clinton, and Jeffrey (Patricia) Mumm of Clinton; two grandchildren, Joshua (Trenee) Newman and John Mumm; seven great grandchildren, William, Jillian, McKenzie, Jackson, Colt, Madison, and Brittany; and a brother, Virgil Masse of Clinton. She was preceded in death by her parents and husbands, Robert and Leland.
My condolences to all that knew and loved Deana. She was a kind, generous, loving woman who cherished her family and friends. She was a second mother to me and she was my great friend. Although my heart is broken I take some comfort in knowing she is reunited with her loved ones that journeyed home before her and now welcome her with joy, love, and a peace only Our Father can provide. I pray her memory brings all that miss her the feeling of love and kindness by which she lead her life. She will be missed, she will always be loved.
