A social butterfly, Deanna had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome, never knowing a stranger and always lighting up any room she entered. She loved playing the piano, singing, whistling songs, dancing, camping, traveling, giving shoulder and back rubs, and playing pranks. Known for her delicious pies, she was also an avid pet lover, with  Loco kitty by her side. Deanna's generosity and her dedication to her family were at the heart of everything she did.
