Deena was born August 15, 1937 in Hartford, CT to Clifford J. and Stephanie (Fiedorowicz) Simpson. Her parents moved down to West Palm Beach, FL when she was a young girl.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl J. Meyer, her son Kevin O’Brien and by her sister PJ Grause. Those left to cherish Deena’s memory are her sons Brian O’Brien (Julie) of Lakewood, CO and Darren O’Brien of North Palm Beach, FL; her sister Bobbie Sue DeWolfe of Inverness; nephew Mark Tessmer; five grandchildren; and one great grandchild.
