Deanna was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Her family was her greatest joy, and she poured her heart into every generation. She will always be remembered for her strength, kindness, and the unconditional love she gave so freely.

She was welcomed into heaven by her parents, Albert and Sylvia Ruperd, and her sisters, Linda Deaton and Debbie Ruperd.

She is survived by her brothers, Dale Ruperd, Butch Ruperd, and David Ruperd; her sisters, Toby Keeling and Lisa Gabric; her daughter, Laura Gutzman; and her son, Bob Gutzman.
