Anne Tuten Deas, age 64, of Jennings, Fla., passed away on Monday, May 24, 2021, at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Ga., following a lengthy illness. Deas was born on March 4, 1957, in Valdosta to the late Jimmie Redding Tuten and Gwendolyn Powell Tuten. She graduated from Hamilton County High School in 1975 and completed her Bachelor's Degree at Auburn University in 1979. Deas was a partner at Lee and Associates Accounting Firm for many years before deciding to sell her half of the company to pursue her lifelong dream of being a farmer's wife. She loved life on the farm, such as taking road trips with Roger and Waffles (her dog) checking irrigation and cows, pulling trailers during tobacco season, working cows and riding horses. Deas was always available to do whatever was needed at Deas Brothers Farm. When not on the farm, Deas loved being outside or woodworking in her shop, where she built her own kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with many other projects. Deas was a loving wife, mother and mamaw. She was quick to help others, but you would never know it was her, because she did not want the recognition. Deas was well known for her famous pecan pies and for being a die-hard Auburn fan. She loved her Tigers. Survivors include: her husband of 41 years, Roger Deas, Jennings, Fla.; two sons, Quint Deas (Lettie) and Barry Deas (Brianne), all of Jennings; her daughter, Ginger Deas Duncan (Shane) of Auburn "Beauregard," Ala.; her two brothers, Hal Tuten (Dinah), Pensacola, Fla. and Steven Tuten (Donna), Jasper, Fla.; seven precious grandchildren, Quincie Cain, Ashton Deas, Cameron Cain, Ella Deas, Mason Deas, Annalyse Deas and Baxlie Duncan. Graveside services were held on Sunday, May 30, at Burnham Christian Church Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Pearlman Cancer Center, at 209 Pendleton Dr. Valdosta, Ga., 31602. Harry T. Reid Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. WAR EAGLE!
