The Lane Team KY Interviews DeAnn Stephens

Meet DeAnn Stephens! The Queen of Lexington 98.1 The Bull!

I’m one very blessed girl! I have two healthy and happy beautiful girls, an amazing husband, a super cool bonus son, a german shepherd, a Yorkie, and pet ducks! What more could a woman want for? 😉 It truly is like a zoo at my house and I’m ok with that! You throw in all of the kid’s friends and we all have a ball!!
I never take myself too seriously, I’m crazy about family dinner nights, and fully aware that I drive my husband and kids crazy on a daily basis!!

I thank God daily for this life that He allows me to live!! I grew up with the best parents in the World who planted deep roots of Faith in all of us!! Not sure that I could make it in this World today without my Faith! I’m thankful for family and the best of friends!!

Lived in the Fayette/Jessamine County area all my life!!! 🙂 Worked in Lexington since 1998

Q: What led you to your current career and why do you love it?
