This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Deana 'Dee' Poitevint-Black, 55, born on February 15, 1958 and passed away on March 29, 2013. We will remember her forever.


Deana (Poitevint) “Dee” Black, age 55, of Killeen, Texas, passed from this life on Friday, March 29, 2013, at Hospice House in Odessa, Texas. She was born in Ft. Stockton, TX on February 15, 1958 to the late William Harrison Poitevint and Cora Elizabeth (McMahan) Poitevint. She was a homemaker. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: Charles Roscoe Black, who passed away in 1993. She is survived by her two daughters: Ranee Dawn Smith of Odessa, and Lisa Marie Bejarano and husband Leopoldo Jr. of Fort Hood; two sisters: Barbara Hiatt and husband Don of Odessa and Beverly Jean Partee of Anchorage, Alaska; three brothers: Eddie Ben Poitevint and Richard Wayne Poitevint, both of Odessa, and Jerry Hogan of Dallas; five grandchildren: Macey and Joseph Sarabia, Khristian and Kourtney Johnson, and Jacob Bejarano; and two great-grandchilden: Zaiden Aaron Day and Avi DeeAnn Day. Dee was an outgoing person who enjoyed line dancing and karaoke. Never one to mince words, she boldly spoke her mind. In the process of moving to Odessa, Dee made many friends from the VFW and that was when the Lord intervened and placed Michael Davis in her life. She was an avid reader and a big sports fan, who was often found cheering on the Boston Red Sox, San Antonio Spurs, and Texas Longhorns, or rooting for Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Sr. on the NASCAR circuit. She loved PURPLE!
