DeAnn received a degree in Business Administration and Business Education ttom Utah State University and returned to get her Master's degree in Business Education. She enjoyed teaching very much and especially enjoyed the companionship she had with her students.
DeAnn married David L. McArthur on 12 May 1978 in Hyde Park and three years later they were sealed on their anniversary in the Logan Temple. Although DeAnn and David had no children, she has three step children ttom David's previous marriage: Lesa (William) Keffeler, Julie Branca, and Jeffrey Scott (Lisa) McArthur. She especially felt a real bonding with David's oldest daughter and her family. She is survived by her husband, David, his three children, four granddaughters and two grandsons. She is also survived by two nieces (Gloria Peterson and Bonnie Erickson), two nephews (Michael and David Gittins) and many dear cousins with whom she felt a special closeness. DeAnn was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Dr. David Arthur Gittins.
