Deanna was an active member of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities. She especially loved the primary children and also befriended and cared for the widows. She served in RS, YW and taught seminary. She loved doing genealogical research and became involved in it soon after her conversion to the restored gospel while still a young mother. She also served a Spanish-speaking mission to Corpus Christi, TX with her husband, Angelo.

Deanna will be best remembered for her selfless service, thoughtfulness and boundless love. She was creative and talented, playing the piano and cello. She loved to cook, sew, paint and sculpt and had a wonderful sense of humor. Never taking herself too seriously, she was always more concerned with the feelings and needs of others. We will miss you tremendously and look forward to a sweet reunion in the Celestial Kingdom.
