From a young age, Dewana embraced a life of faith, joining Fallstown Baptist Church, where she found community and spiritual grounding. Her professional life included dedicated years working at Acme Metal Products, where she was known for her strong work ethic and commitment to her colleagues.
Above all, Dewana’s greatest joy came from the time she spent with her beloved grandchildren. They were the center of her universe, and she cherished every moment with Liam, Wyatt, and Connor McNeil. Her love was their guiding star, and in her presence, they felt the depth of her warmth and affection.
