Lauralil Evans (‘Lolly’) Deats, a resident of Pacific Palisades for 62 years, died peacefully at home on Sunday, March 27. She was 88. Lolly and her devoted husband of 66 years, Bob Deats, lived for many years on Brooktree Road in Rustic Canyon. In addition to Bob, Lolly leaves behind her loving daughters Pam Ferris, Paula Deats and Linda West, and loving grandsons Geoffrey Kindred West and Colin Taylor West. All are Palisadians. In 1960, Deats wrote a book called ‘Hand in Hand: Mother, Child, and God’ which chronicled conversations with her children as they were growing up. Recorded first so that she would remember the special moments of their childhood, the questions her children asked and the answers Deats offered were ultimately published as insights for other parents. Lolly was a charter member of the Bel-Air Presbyterian Church.
