MEMORIAM
 
Class of 1981 lost classmate Deanna Briggs on June 8, 2025. I posted this on my FB page but know others would not see it.
Deanna Briggs passed away peacefully in her sleep in Cozumel, a place that truly felt like home to her. She had been living there with her husband for just over a year, embracing the ocean life she loved so much.
Deanna and I didn’t really know each other until after high school. We ran into each other at Kempi’s bar in Addison, TX, and bonded quickly over a shared love of scuba diving. She welcomed me into the SCUBADILLO Dive Club, and from there, she introduced me to some amazing people.
We were roommates on a couple of those legendary dive trips to Cozumel, her happy place. She was my dive buddy on two of them, always ready for adventure and always prepared right down to her waterproof makeup. She always looked her best no matter the occasion.
I was so proud of her when she made the leap to move to Cozumel. She followed her heart and lived life on her own terms.
Dive free, Deanna with the seahorses and all the magical creatures. You’ll be deeply missed.
Her sister posted a gofundme page.
