Deon Kay Anderson Green

Deon Kay Anderson Green returned to her Heavenly Father on Sunday, June 05, 2011 at her home in Providence, Utah. Deon was born July 14, 1940 in Logan, Utah to Eugene Earl and Emma Krebs Anderson. As a child, Deon lived in Logan, North Logan and settled with her parents and siblings in Providence, Utah. Deon attended school at Providence Elementary and later at South Cache High School. Deon married her high school sweetheart, Gerald Wyatt Green of Wellsville, Utah, on January 14, 1956 in Preston, Idaho. The couple was sealed in the Logan Temple on January 14, 1957.
Following their wedding, Deon and Gerald lived in Wellsville, Utah. Later, after Gerald joined the Air Force, the couple moved near Chanute Air Force Base, in Rantoul, Illinois where their son, Randall Randy was born in June, 1957. Gerald's military service took the family across the country to Merced, California where their daughter, Kelly was born in June, 1958. After Gerald's service with the military was completed, the young family had an adventurous journey back to Cache Valley, settling in Providence.

She was employed in various places, including many years as a partner at the JoyDee Child Day Care Center, a clerk at the Hollywood Connection, secretary at David B.
