On Thursday, June 29, 2017, Stephany Pearl (Sevene) Deyo, of Williston was peacefully sleeping when she passed away after a long but courageous battle with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, at the McClure Miller VNA Respite House in Colchester.

She will always be remembered for her heartfelt love and devotion to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Along with her servants heart, devotion to family, sassy wit and facial expressions included, enjoyment of gardening, and her love of AL’s famous French Fries.

Born in Morrisville, on June 22, 1938 she was the first born of 13 children to the late Francis Sevene and Pearl (Emerson) Perry. She is survived by her brothers Gordon, Eugene, Theodore, Terry, Francis Jr., and Edwin. Her sisters Elouise Martin, Melvina Spence, Sharyon Sevene, Shailer Morrissey, Tammy Sevene, and Charlene Stone. She will also lovingly be remembered by several nieces and nephews and their living families to second and third generations.

Stephany is also survived by her husband David Deyo of 40 years, her loving daughters Joyce and Cathy Emerson, and her beloved stepson, Scott William Deyo, and his family to which her steadfast love and kindness continuously overflowed.

Stephany dedicated her life to serving others. Upon leaving Gaynes Department store, after 13 years as a sales clerk, she opened D&S Cleaning Service with her husband David. Stephany has left a legacy of meticulous hard work, dedication and devotion to her clientele from 1978 to January 2017. She fondly considered them to be her friends and family.
