Patricia DeAnn Stafford
November 27, 1972–March 22, 2023

Patricia, most lovingly known as DeeDee, by everyone who knew and loved her, went home to be with the Lord, on March 22, 2023.  Her last days of life were difficult, as were the past several years, but even in the difficult days, she was able to keep a positive spirit. The pure innocence she possessed was her most beautiful quality. Her laugh was so infectious that it lit up the room and it was joyous to hear. She loved going to church and riding on the church bus. Her love for country music was like no other and she could tell you everything about her favorite country artist's music and personal lives. She loved stuffed animals and baby dolls and collected quite a few over the years. She always treated them with so much love and care. It would've been an awesome thing if DeeDee had been able to live a normal life and have a family of her own. However, that was not the plan. She loved her family and we loved and cherished every moment that we got to spend with her. She was truly one of God's greatest gifts and we will miss her forever.
DeeDee leaves behind her mother, Linda Faye Stafford; father, Ivan Wayne Stafford; brothers, Robert Hal Stafford (Christie) and Allen Wayne Stafford (Leigh Ann); nephews, Mikhail Augusta Stafford and Micah Brian Myrick; niece, Misty Dawn Jolly; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her Grandfather, Roy Augusta Eads; Grandmother, Annie Mae Eads; Grandfather, Clarence Edward Stafford, Sr.; Grandmother, Linnie Dell Stafford; Brother, David Wayne Stafford; Niece, Amber Jennifer Renee Jolly; and adopted family friend, Joseph Stafford, who was like a brother to her.
There will be a visitation to celebrate DeeDee's life, on April 22, 2023, at Bell Funeral Home, 2077 Pratt Highway, Birmingham, AL 35214, beginning at 10:00am.
In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to XVIBham.org, in DeeDee's name.
