Deni Grace Allen, 24, of Live Oak, FL passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2022. Deni grew up in Live Oak, FL, and graduated with honors from Suwannee High School (SHS) in 2016. Deni was on the softball, soccer, and bowling teams while at SHS, where she was also voted Class Clown her Senior Year. Deni had the most diverse group of friends from every walk of life, and she truly never met a stranger. Everyone has a "Deni" story because she loved her people fiercely.

After high school, Deni attended North Florida College and enjoyed working at JW Hill Auctions and was a Certified Nursing Assistant at Suwannee Health Care from 2016-2018. She also coached JV Softball at SHS and enjoyed spending time with the players during the season. Deni often worked, danced, and laughed with her mother and best friend at Hogan's Just Play It and Hogan Tee Company. Deni constantly strived to further her education and achievements including attending a year of pharmacy tech school and real estate school.

On any given evening, Deni could be found with her beloved cat, Hank or on the back porch listening to classic country music while talking to friends and family on the phone. She loved to spend time with her family and had a special bond with her cousins. Deni will be missed by so many.

Deni Grace is survived by her mother, Maureen Hogan; father, Tim (Sharon) Allen; brother, Harley (Kurstan) Allen; sister, Caroline Allen; and granny, Marla Hogan. Deni was preceded in death by her grandfather, Charles Hogan and her uncle, Trent Blanton.
