Deanie was a devoted congregant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. She was a member of the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, and generously volunteered her time to help those in need.

Deanie was an avid bridge player and golfer and treasured the friendships she made throughout the years. Golf brought her particular joy. She was a long-time member of Oak Hill Country Club in Fitchburg, MA. Her golfing career credits include a club championship and remarkably, TWO holes in one.

In her later years, Deanie made close friendships with staff and residents at Heywood Wakefield Commons in Gardner and most recently at Alliance Health at Rosewood in Peabody, MA.
