She lived in Maplewood for 15 years before moving to Parsippany in December of 1966. Deanna graduated from Columbia High School in Maplewood and received her Nursing Degree from Beth Israel Hospital in Newark. For all of Deanna's many & vast humanitarian accomplishments, she considered her greatest life's work to be the love she brought and received through her work at the Arc of Morris County where she selflessly changed and contributed to the lives of the many special needs adults that were entrusted to her care and benefited through her selfless, humble and exquisitely shared style of unconditional love. She believed her greatest accomplishment of all was the loving, devoted and extended family she built with the love of her life, Vito during their 42 years of blessed matrimony. Deanna served as President and Treasurer of the PTA of the Parsippany School System and she was a devoted member of the Parish of St. Ann R.C. Church in Parsippany. For the countless many that were blessed to have been part of her life, Deanna's home was a sanctuary where all were welcome, lives were edified, hearts and minds were healed and faith, hope and love were always in abundance.
