Dean Marie Koch, age 92, of Hot Springs, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 18, 2021.

She was born on January 31, 1929, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the daughter of Charles Wray and Helen Holford Wray.

Dean was a Christian and of the Lutheran faith. She worked for Wal-Mart and K-Mart in customer service.
