Deanna Dane' Dominick-Dalton

Military wife, aunt, daughter, sister, friend. Deanna "Dee" Dané Dominick-Dalton, was born on December 7, 1999, at St. Mary’s Hospital, in Passaic, New Jersey, to parents Lynette Sudler and Harry T. Dominick. As a child, Deanna dreamed of being a model/fashion designer. She spent much of her childhood with her older sister Kelly Dennis, and her best friends and cousins, Jada and Jordan. Growing up, Deanna was a star; a beaming beautiful light across every room she entered. During her youth, if Deanna was not playing dress-up in the latest fashion, she was dancing -- sharing her gorgeous smile and heartwarming laughter with everyone around her. As Deanna entered high school, she formed a magical bond with young children. Her love for children materialized into her working as a Nanny after school. Deanna graduated from Smyrna High School with Honors in 2018. After graduation, Deanna married her high school sweetheart, Denzell Dalton, a soldier in the National Guard on May 18th, 2019. Deanna then went on to pursue a career in corporate retail operations. At only 20 years old, Deanna had already been promoted to manager of a fashion store. Deanna worked hard and intelligently towards her professional goals. Deanna loved to eat her favorite foods: macaroni and cheese, authentic tacos, shrimp fettucini alfredo, seafood, grits with eggs, and bacon. She was quite fond of candy: sour patch kids, jolly ranchers, and all types of sugary treats. Just like those candies, Deanna was sweet. She was smart, warm, loving, caring, and had a great sense of humor. In her free time, Deanna was passionate about listening and dancing to music. She had a wide range of eclectic tastes from classic soul to hard trap rap music. She was an “old soul”; she loved “old school” music. Some of her favorite artists include Charlie Wilson, Maxwell, and Kem as well as NBA Youngboy and Roddy Rich. Deanna also loved animals. Her two dogs, “Sparky” and “Chop”, were her “children. She always put the needs of others before her own. Above all, Deanna accomplished what most able-bodied people never even attempt, despite being completely blind in one eye since birth and overcoming severe asthma. Deanna departed this life to be with the Lord in Heaven on April 27, 2021, at the age of 21 years too young. She leaves behind an extensive family to cherish her memory, including: her loving husband, Denzell M. Dalton; mother and stepfather, Lynette and Keith W. Sudler, Sr.; father, Harry Dominick; sisters, Kelly Dennis (husband Ryan) and Tashey Garcia; stepbrother, Keith W. Sudler, Jr. (wife Christy); father-in-law and mother-in-law, Robert and Darcell Dalton; brothers-in-law, Robert C. Dalton, Jr. (fiancé Brean), Kasien Eason and Drayvon Dalton (wife Angela); sisters-in-law, Dashika Dalton, Dashay Dalton and Denisha Dalton; goddaughter, Gabriela “Gabby” Dalton; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
