After graduation from Auburn in Interior Design, Deanna took a three-month tour of Europe, visiting every country in Europe and taking many photos of the architecture which fascinated her.

Her children were nurtured with prayers, educated in the faith and in virtues at home and at Holy Redeemer, Blessed Trinity, the Catholic Center at UGA and at Notre Dame.
