Betty Lou Deakin Anderson passed away surrounded by her loving family March 25, 2023. She leaves behind a legacy of love, service and devotion for her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Betty was born January 22, 1939 to Norris Thayer and Betty Lyle Titcomb Deakin in Bingham Canyon, Utah. She was a welcome daughter, and brought much joy to her parents and brother.
She attended and graduated from Jordan High School where she met and fell in love with her sweetheart, Nate. They were married two years after graduation September 25, 1959 in the Salt Lake Temple. They enjoyed 42 years of marriage until Nate passed away in 2001. They were blessed with 2 daughters and one son.
Betty was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where she held many callings and spent time serving with her husband as missionaries and as temple workers in two different temples. Her life was filled with service where she preferred a spoon in her hand to a planning meeting.
She received a secretary certificate from LDS Business College, and worked as a secretary with various companies for over 40 years. She was a wiz at typing and 10 key.
She perused a talent of cake decorating and designed and crafted wedding cakes, or cakes for any occasion. Many stories can be told of the transportation of those cakes to receptions or open houses where they were set up, touched up and sometimes even redecorated because of the summer heat. She was a perfectionist and a true artist. She spent many hours with an embroidery needle in her hand making beautiful dish towels, pillow cases and table cloths.
Her favorite activity was spending time with her family. She loved family reunions, holidays (especially Christmas where she always was the first one up) or any excuse to get together with family. Every Easter had a picnic in the mountains and July 4 was and excuse to barbecue—but make sure it included potato salad. Sunday dinners were a production all their own with the mandatory jello, roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetables, and pudding in stemmed glasses.
A note from Betty:
Awe—I finally made it! Don't be sad, but celebrate with me. I am back with my sweet Nate, and I am happy. I just want to say thank you THANK YOU to all of my family and friends I have had the privilege of knowing during my lifetime. You have given me so much. You have brought joy to my heart, helped me through tough times, cheered me on when I was low, and put me at the top when I least expected it. This has been a wonderful experience. I am so grateful for all I have been taught by each of you.
I just want to say that I know that God lives, and that God's son, Jesus Christ died for me, that I can have eternal life. Please remember these words, because they come from my heart.
