Deana Marie Hoornstra

Cadillac - Deana Hoornstra, longtime resident of Cadillac, passed away peacefully with family surrounding her on Monday the 22nd of November at Munson Healthcare’s Traverse City Hospital.  She was only 55.

Deana was born on October 2nd, 1966, in Adrian Michigan to Joseph and Monica (King) Hoornstra. As a young girl, she relocated with family to northern Michigan where she had two daughters and met her sweetheart of 20 years, Brian Halladay. 

Deana loved her family and extended family tremendously and had the kindest of hearts.  She took the greatest pride in being a grandmother to her two grandchildren and enjoyed spoiling them and doing crafts. She was the type of person that everyone could count on to be available around the clock.  No matter what time of day, no matter who you were, she would immediately be there. She was everyone’s go to person.  Her faith in God was strong, and her heart was the most forgiving. She was loved by so many.

She was preceded in death by her father Joseph Hoornstra, two brothers Michael and Christopher Hoornstra, and father-in-law David Halladay.
