VERNON, CT. – Deanna J. Bull, 77 of Vernon, went home to be with the lord on July 23, 2017 in the comfort of her home, in the care of her beloved children, friends, and longtime partner.
Born and raised in Mapleton, Maine, Deanna was the daughter of the late Ernest and Pauline (Daley) Judkins. She moved to Vernon in the early 60’s where she began raising her large family of five. Deanna was an amazing, aunt, grandmother and friend. Most of all she was the most loving, kind, generous, beautiful mother to her five kids. She will be missed beyond words.

Deanna enjoyed summers back “up home” into Squa Pan lake. Her sister and husband’s dairy farm with her kids was a common destination as well as beach vacations at Hampton beach, NH. Later in life she especially loved her little cabin set next to a little creek on her niece Jeana’s farm.
She was close to her family growing up especially her sisters, cousins and nearby grandparents. Throughout her life Deanna had numerous friends whom she loved. Too numerous to mention. Deanna was known for her generous nature always offering to help those she loved in need. She truly was an amazing woman.
