Deana Heck Obituary (1970 - 2025) - Fort Rice, North Dakota

Deana Marie Heck, known affectionately as "Mean Dean or Louise" was born on May 9, 1970, in Mandan, ND, USA. She spent her 55 years passionately living and loving in her cherished hometown of Fort Rice, North Dakota. Deana's life was a testament to her compassionate spirit, courageous heart, generous nature, and humble soul. A direct care worker for over 30 years, Deana was committed to providing support and care for those in need. Outside of work, she enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of nature, often found fishing relaxing or simply enjoying the serenity of Fort Rice. Perhaps what mattered most to Deana were her beloved cats, Benny & Joon. Their company brought her immense joy, comfort, and companionship, even though she would not admit it. 😉 Deana is survived by her sister, Dawn Heck, and her nephews, Joe Heck (Kim) and Jesse Heck(Kimberly), and her great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Duane and Ida Heck and very recently, her older sister, Diane Heck Payne. Deana's warmth, courage, and loving spirit will forever be remembered in the hearts of those she leaves behind. We invite you to share your memories of Deana and upload photos to her memorial page, keeping her spirit alive in our hearts. She may be gone, but her legacy will go on forever in our hearts❤️❤️ Deana's family will have a private burial at a later date.
