Care Extraordinaire - Deanne Lynn Dibble West

Deanne "Soup" Lynn Dibble West

We are proud to recognize Deanna Lynn Dibble West as our inaugural Care Extraordinaire—a title honoring those who exemplify compassion, leadership, and unwavering dedication in senior care.

Affectionately known as “Soup” to her family, Deanna was a Licensed Practical Nurse whose life radiated kindness and justice. She was a calm, grounding presence for those in crisis and a fierce advocate for fairness and equity.

Deanna passed away unexpectedly at just 51. She was a devoted wife to Hans West, a beloved sister to Senator Scott Dibble, and a cherished friend to many. Though she is gone too soon, her legacy continues to ripple through every life she touched.
