DeeAnn Malone was born to Alfred Lionel Alvey and Sarah Elizabeth Finn. She attended Hawthorne Elementary, O.E. Bell Jr. High and Idaho Falls High School. On August 8, 1957, she married Raymond Willard Malone in Idaho Falls. Their marriage was solemnized in the Los Angeles Temple on June 24, 1965.

DeeAnn and Ray moved to California in 1959. There, she became affiliated with Skousen Tax Service and a lifelong vocation of preparing tax returns began. Later, a company called TCA hired her to move back to Idaho to open the area for their company. In 1979, DeeAnn and Ray opened their own office, Data Tax and Bookkeeping Service. This successful business became Data Tax, Inc., which they operated until 1999, when they retired, leaving the business for the next generation.

DeeAnn was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings including Visiting Teacher, Choir Director, Gospel Doctrine Teacher, Primary Teacher, Young Women's Advisor, Stake Homemaking Leader and Stake Relief Society Historian. This last calling gave her the opportunity to speak at a session of General Conference. She served as a temple worker and did extraction work. She was an avid genealogist, leaving her family a wonderful history of their ancestors.

She was an accomplished musician. She was classically trained on the violin, sang as a soprano in several choirs, played the guitar and taught piano lessons for many years. She served as a Pink Lady at the Idaho Falls Riverview Hospital. She was an enthusiastic bowler and bowled on many leagues. She loved to sew, crochet and can her garden produce. She loved to camp and to out-fish her husband. In the end, the only thing that stopped her from doing the things she loved was being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. For the past two years, she had resided at Good Samaritan Care Center in Idaho Falls. DeeAnn lived an enthusiastic life, always trying new things and devoted to service of others.
