Deanna was born to Leon Levi Cox and Doris Lillian Wadsworth and graduated from Shelley High School. She and Vaughn Charles Anderson were married in April of 1955 and eventually divorced. She attended business college and worked as a legal secretary for several years. Throughout her life she was always taking classes to learn new skills and talents and never stopped learning. She and Dewayne Willis Moore were married in 1976, farmed in the New Sweden area, operated a landscape business, and sold pumpkins and Christmas trees in California. They made their retirement home in Jameston and wintered in Salome, AZ, where she became a Master Gardener. She had worked as a waitress for her parents when she was young and for her cousin Jim in Arizona when she was much older. She managed to cross-stitch Christmas stockings for over 70 of her posterity, including 10 children and their spouses, her grand-children, and most of her great-grandchildren. Levi quilts and graduation quilts were another of her wonderful gifts she found time to create and share. She worked hard to provide and support family and loved and comforted them in good and bad times. She made time to picnic, reunion, camp, and vacation to create great experiences and beautiful memories. When her grandchildren were young, it was a tradition to spend Sunday afternoon at her house and play games, and she always made a yummy homemade treat. She spent her life serving her family without complaint or regret, especially in hard times. Preceding were her sister Joy Cox Passey, daughter Diane Anderson Spencer, step-son Jeff Moore, granddaughter Sarah Anderson, and great-grandson Hayden Chapa. Survivors included: children Shawna (Mel) Wardell, V. Scot (Karen) Anderson, Janet (Jay) Hammer, LaNae Surerus, Kirk Anderson and Greg Anderson; step-children Ron (Chris) Moore, and David Moore; in-laws Richard Spencer and Crystal Moore; and 26 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. Funeral services held January 5th at Sandcreek Ward in Jameston.
