Deanna Garfield Arbon

Deanna Garfield Arbon took her next step of progression and passed from this life on 23 November 2005. Having worn the clothes of the sufferer, she valiantly endured to the end with cancer. We now commend her into the care and service of family and friends who have proceeded her, including her parents Jesse and LaVon Brough Garfield. Born 3 February 1940 in Tremonton, Utah, Deanna married her sweetheart Bob K. Arbon on 6 October 1960 in the Logan Temple. She graduated from Bear River High School and earned a degree in Cosmetology at Weber State College. Deanna is mother to Kelly (Neal) Israelsen of North Logan, Mike (Jana) Arbon of Princeton, Massachusetts and Jodi Arbon of Brighton, Massachusetts and has blessed the lives of (9) grandchildren, who are her pride and joy - Branden (20), Shawn (16), Taylor (12), Sheldon (8), Keaton (13), Rylee (11), Bentley (9), Cutler (7), Gage (3). She is survived also by her spouse and friend Bob Arbon and her siblings Klea Fae Wright of Moses Lake, Washington and Don (Trudy) Garfield of Garden City, Utah. Deanna is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints and served faithfully in many positions. No titles suited her more than wife, mother, and friend. Deanna defined and refined her personality through succororing the weak, lifting the hands that hang low, and strengthening the feeble knees. She is a very compassionate, loving and patient person and great friend to all who know her. She is easy to talk to and has an ability to absorb others problems and ease their concerns. One never saw her pain as it was covered by her smile and the twinkle in her eye. Deanna has always put others needs before her own. During her struggle with poor health she has never complained. She loves her grandchildren and especially enjoys shopping outings with them. Always known for a beautiful yard and flowers Deanna has a gift for decorating. Her family wishes to thank and acknowledge all those who conveyed love and concern these past couple of years through visits, cards, and calls. All who spent time with her felt enriched. She is the cornerstone of our family and will be greatly missed until we see her again.
