Seanna Deerheart, formerly Eleanor Sears "Ellie" Bumford, age 62, of Concord, passed away on October 30, 2021.
She was born in Concord, MA and resided there for most of her life. Seanna will be remembered for her positive outlook, even in the face of numerous chronic, debilitating illnesses; her green thumb and the beautiful gardens she grew, bursting with flowers, herbs and tomatoes; and the wall-full of ribbons she earned from competing in equestrian events as a girl.

She is survived by her brothers Linwood (Lin) Bumford and his wife Marie Nardi of Natick MA and Robert (Bo) Bumford and his wife Holly Bevan-Bumford of Everson WA; two nieces, Jennifer Bumford and Keeley Bumford; a nephew, Christopher Bumford and his wife Anna; uncle William Phillips and his wife Betsy of Dennis; four cousins; friend and Personal Care Attendant, Michele Caufield; and beloved cat, Mr. Bojangles.
