move to Georgia in 2021, to be near her son Dale. She was very active in her
church and Eastern Star (Worthy Matron and Deputy Grand Matron) in California.
They also took many camping trips and cruises with friends in the 1980’s and
1990’s. After moving to Georgia, she lived in the Independent Living Facility, The
Phoenix at Union Hill, in Canton, Georgia, until her passing. Deanna loved going
to Happy Hour, and putting together puzzles and playing cards with her friends.
She loved to gamble and was very disappointed to learn that there are no casinos
in Georgia when she moved there 2 years ago.
