Deanna L. Niese

LEIPSIC – Deanna L. Niese, 32, of Leipsic, passed away at 6:16 AM on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at Bridge Hospice Inpatient Care Center, Findlay, after a courageous battle with breast cancer.

She was born July 4, 1991, in Lima to Dennis E. and Mary L. (Westrick) Niese, who survive in Leipsic.  Survivors also include three brothers: Andy (Lori) Niese of Miller City, Brian (Leah) Niese of Leipsic, and Chris (Chelsie) Niese of Miller City; 11 nieces and nephews: Owen, Brady, and Margaret Niese, Mack, Addison, Ty, Henry, and Vivian Niese, and Jaxon, Sadie, and Jacob Niese; and her cats: Moe and Oreo.

She was preceded in death by paternal grandparents: Carl and Marieta Niese and maternal grandparents: Harold and Donna Jean Westrick.

Deanna was a licensed cosmetologist with Revitalize Spa, Ottawa, and a learning leader at Paul Mitchell The School Toledo.  She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Leipsic.  Deanna was a 2010 Leipsic High School graduate and studied graphic design at Bowling Green State University.  She also graduated from Paul Mitchell The School Toledo and was proud to be chosen to participate in a makeup artist workshop in California.  She was a talented manicurist who was well-known for her detailed free-hand designs.  Deanna especially loved music and attending concerts. Her collection of concert t-shirts was as special to her as the friends she made at each show. In addition to her artistic talent, Deanna had a deep love for her family and friends. Being a daughter, sister, aunt, and godmother was among her greatest joys. She shared her dry sense of humor and witty personality with everyone she met and taught her nieces and nephews how to be true to themselves.

The funeral Mass will begin at 11:00 AM Friday, May 31, 2024, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Leipsic, with Fr. Randy Giesige officiating.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery.  Visitation will be from 2 PM to 8 PM Thursday at LOVE-HEITMEYER FUNERAL HOME, Leipsic and from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM Friday at St. Mary's Parish Life Center, Leipsic.  A Rosary Service will be held at 1:30 PM Thursday at the funeral home.
