Favre and Tynes met in the small town of Kiln, Mississippi, in 1983 when they were both 14 years old.

They welcomed their first daughter, Brittany, in 1989. Favre was drafted into the NFL in 1991, and as his football career took off in Green Bay, Deanna was left to care for Brittany in Mississippi.

In 1995, Deanna moved to Green Bay with Brittany so they could all live as a family.

A year later, on July 14, 1996, Favre and Deanna got married in a small, simple wedding at St. Agnes Catholic Church. Brittany was their flower girl.

Breleigh was born three years later.

When Favre was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016, Tynes was the one who introduced him.

“Deanna is the best teammate I've ever had,” he said in a statement. “She has been by my side throughout this journey, and I’m so excited that she gets to play such an important role for me. Having my wife introduce me was an easy choice, considering she was there long before my first touchdown pass, long after the last."

However, it was not all smooth sailing for the couple. While Deanna fought breast cancer, Favre battled addiction and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2024.
