Deanna Kuempel’s story is one of struggle, determination, fortitude, faith – and fashion. Born & raised in the Chicagoland area and she studied Business & Accounting at Harper College. She went on to become an entrepreneur, simultaneously running 4 different businesses and closing multi-million dollar contracts. In 2013, Deanna’s best friend and husband Richard became critically ill, and they set out on a very difficult battle with his health… one that was all too soon lost. Following open heart surgery and in need of a kidney transplant, Deanna dedicated herself to caring for her husband. Serving as a caregiver in those final days of Richard’s life was a true awakening for Deanna. In an instant, she realized the preciousness of this one life we are given, and that we all must live out our legend. After Richard died, Deanna was forced to start over.
