Deanes was listed in critical condition Monday night, and ultimately passed away due to her injuries.
“Vannessa was very happy. Always willing to do whatever you ask her. She loved kids. She loved God. She loved her family,” said friend Janine Russini.
Russini had worked with Deanes for years at the Heritage Baptist Church, where she once helped out with children during Sunday school.
