October 10, 1960 - November 7, 2024
DeVonn Annette Pearl Iverson
Age 64, of Richfield, Minnesota, passed away on November 7, 2024, at 1 p.m. after a courageous battle with cancer. DeVonn spent most of her life in Richfield, where she built a community of friends and loved ones.
She was blessed with three children: a daughter and son from her first marriage and later another son with her beloved husband, Eddie. DeVonn and Eddie shared a deep, lasting love; they were together for 34 years and married for 32 of them. Their bond was one of mutual respect, laughter, and unwavering support.
DeVonn was known for her strong work ethic and remarkable resilience in the face of any obstacle. She was a caring soul who opened her heart and her home to many throughout her life. Over the years, she welcomed and cared for numerous people during times when they needed support—a coworker, a mother and her two children, several of her daughter’s friends, her father, her son’s friend, and at times, her own children, grandchildren, and daughter-in-law. Her kindness created a safe haven for all, and she took great joy in offering her home and heart to those in need.
She deeply cherished her coworkers, whom she often described as a “second family.” Each of them held a special place in her heart, and she found joy in the meaningful relationships that blossomed into lifelong friendships, even as life led them in different directions.
Independent and sometimes delightfully stubborn, DeVonn stayed true to herself up until her last breath. Eddie eventually convinced her to let him help with some small things, though she fiercely held on to her independence when it came to her beloved Amazon shopping and DoorDash orders.
DeVonn’s legacy is one of strength, loyalty, and love. She touched many lives with her kindness, humor, and determination. She will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by those who knew and loved her.
Survived by husband, Edward Iverson; children, Marie LaDuke, Clifton (Alexandra) LaDuke and Joseph Iverson; grandchildren, Alayna LaDuke, Ania LaDuke, Anthony LaDuke, Caylie LaDuke, Calvin LaDuke, Catori LaDuke and Dakota LaDuke; parents, Dave and Judy Holmgren; aunt, Gayle Dahl; siblings, Charles Hinkle, Raymond Hinkle, Tom (Belinda) McCuaig, LeAnn (Anthony) Steffl, Michelle (Jon) Holle, Wade (Nicole) Holmgren and Jessica (Jason) Cianciolo; loyal grandpuppy, Duke; and many nieces, nephews, aunt, uncles, cousins, and loving friends.

Devonn is a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed. I am so sorry for your loss. Keeping the family in my prayers.
My favorite memory of Devonn was when she turned 50. She was so excited and literally ran around the office (SDA) shouting, “I’m 50!”. She did a sumo wrestling like pose when she said it. So funny!
I’m so sorry for the loss of Devonn, wonderful lady and will be truly missed. I loved coming to visit my sister and sitting talking her ears off. She was always glad to see me in from St. Cloud and would ask “how long it took you to drive in” my response was always 35 minutes and she would laugh at me. Beautiful soul and she will be missed dearly.
I worked with Devonn for several years, and loved her sass and humor. She will be truly missed.
Deep condolences for the loss of your beautiful sister. Hugs ❤️
My Sincere condolences Ed to you and the Kids. Devon will be missed. Her and I always got along great. Very sorry.
DeVonn and I were close friends in junior high and high school. I was her shadow in high school, I was shy and she was far from it, lol, needless to say she made a lot of friends and brought me with her. We remained friends till the end. I am so happy I got to see my friend one last time when we came back to Minnesota last September.
Love you DeVonn, you will be missed by me and many others. RIP my friend.
I’m so deeply saddened by the passing of my sister’s beautiful neighbor, Devonn. She had such a sweet and kind heart and will be truly missed. To her amazing and fun-loving family, my thoughts and prayers are with you through your healing journey. Marie, may the strength of the Lord bring you peace, comfort and love to your soul ❤️❤️❤️
My dear friend, you are free. Free from the trials and tribulations of this earthly world. Free of the pain the wracked your body nearly head to toe. Free of the indignities visited upon you as your strength waned. And we are left behind to mourn your loss. While I’ll grieve deeply, I’ll keep my mind focused on your freedom, frolicking in your Father’s kingdom.
My heart aches knowing the pain in yours Ed. You were her rock every minute of every day. She loved you fiercely and depended on you without reserve, a near impossibility for DeVonn. May you feel her guiding spirit as you navigate the minefields of grief.
Marie, Cliff, and Joe, you were blessed with a one-of-a-kind mom. Her love for you never wavered; her devotion to your well being was of the utmost importance until she took her last breath. She spoke so proudly of all of you. And now you have an angel. An angel with a spunky side to be sure but a seraph nonetheless.
May all of us strive to have a faith as deep as my beloved friend’s.
You will be missed mom i love you so much and thank you for all you have taught me in life and the strength you gave me to take life on me and the kids and Alex will miss you so much but it’s never good bye only I’ll see you when I see you momma love you forever and we will never forget about you love you.
I love you,Mommy. God, do I miss you so much already! I catch myself forgetting and then losing my breathe for a second when I realize you are gone.
You are my hero always have been. I am just so sorry I didn’t say it to you while you were here.
My beloved grandma, the mark you have left on my soul, I love you grandma so much more than life it’s self I will never forget everything you have taught me, I miss our talks and every word you spoke I hold onto, I know you are at peace, you can rest now I love you.
