Petals by Felicia

Racine, WI – Deneen McClain was born on February 22, 1965, to the union of Zannie (nee: Gilliam) McClain and Curtis McClain Jr. in Racine, Wisconsin. She was called to be with her Lord on April 5, 2022, after serving 57 blissful years on this earth.

Deneen received her formal education at J.I Case High School in Racine, Wisconsin and furthered her education at Gateway Technical College for a couple of years. She accepted Christ as her savior at an early age and never let go of that faith. She was employed by Racine County as a Receptionist at the Racine County Workforce Solutions for many years where she was well known, well loved, and well respected. In her leisure time, she enjoyed: cooking, filling in puzzle books, watching soap operas, and spending time with the family in any way she could, whether that was an occasional barbecue or a birthday party. She was the peacekeeper of the family because when things got rough, she would often say “Simmer” and things mellowed out.

Deneen was preceded in death by both of her parents Zannie McClain and Curtis McClain Jr., maternal and paternal grandparents, and her brothers Duane and Kirby McClain. She leaves to cherish her memory her precious twins Gerald and Jarrod McClain AKA “The Boolas”, sisters Zandra Fordham and Dana McClain, brothers Ken McClain, Melvin McClain of Toledo Ohio, Tonga McClain, and Reginald “Mony” McClain, and her special aunt Coren “Coe” McWhorter. She also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends to cherish her memory.

A Celebration of Her Life will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at 11:00am in the Chapel of Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory, 4600 County Line Rd., Racine, WI. Visitation will be in the chapel 10:00am – 11:00am. Please visit the website at a later date for her complete obituary.

The family has requested that masks be worn at all times while in the funeral home. Please bring your own masks they will not be supplied by the  funeral home.

Testimonials

March 13, 2025

Thank you so very much for the exemplary care that you provided for both our mom and dad. Your family is extremely kind and exudes much empathy towards others. You and your staff display much professionalism with great talent and attention to detail. Mom and dad were always very particular in their appearance. Mom would say, You are leaving a lasting impression of yourself with someone to remember you by. Your parents taught you boys well; be very proud of that! Love on them, as death is so very permanent.

Holly and I are officially orphans now. It is people like your family and David Huck being there for us, that bring comfort when you are going through one of the most difficult challenges life throws at you.

I thank God every day for our Ostergaard family and will always cherish the memories.

 

Love you,

Jody Burlingame Wagner
