There are only deacons mentioned in the Bible. The word "deaconess" is not in the Bible. Also, a "deacon" is a man. However, to answer the question, "deaconess' is a word which has largely gone out of style, but used to be the equivalent of a female chaplain in schools and some church groups. The duties vary greatly, according to the church (or school) using the term, but generally involve relationship counselling and spiritual guidance for others.
There were 7 deacons under Pope Sixtus II: Januarius, Vincentius, Magnus, Stephanus, Felicissimus and Agapitus, Lawrence of Rome. All were martyred.
Some presbyterian churches have deacons.
