Deana Michelle Achord Martin Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Deana Michelle Achord Martin, beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at the age of 48 years. Deana was a native of Baton Rouge, La., a 1988 graduate of Central High School, and 2006 graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University’s School of Nursing. She was a single mother with no greater commitment than to her two sons, Colton Way (14) and Anthony Martin (27), and a pediatric oncology nurse who touched countless fragile young lives in hospitals across the country. Those who were fortunate enough to know her will lovingly remember her for her infectious sense of humor and the compassion and support that she provided them during their most vulnerable times. In addition to her two sons, Deana is survived by her mother, Deborah Herrin; stepfather, David Lea; and two brothers, Markus and Michael Achord, as well as extended family. Arrangements have been entrusted to McLin & Manley Funeral Home of Walker, L.a. A gathering of remembrance will be held on Sunday, August 26, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m., at Kristenwood Reception Hall, 14025 Greenwell Springs Road, Greenwell Springs, La., 70739. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the Deana Achord Martin Memorial Fund to help support the future needs of her youngest son Colton.
