Deanne Barnes Batt, devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother, passed away April 25, 2019 in Taylorsville, Utah.

Deanne was born on June 23, 1939, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the first child of Grant Elmer Barnes and Leah Brown Barnes.

Deanne loved her family and created a cheerful home where family and close friends liked to gather. There were always homemade treats, a family favorite being her wonderful sugar cookies.

Deanne had a great love for horses. Taking care of them and going on horseback rides with Carl brought her joy. She also enjoyed her chickens and working hard in the yard, which was always beautifully maintained. "Coffee breaks" with friends and road trips to horse sales were other favorites in Deanne's life. She was fun and happy and had many talents.
