The Bakersfield Californian 
Deanna Louise Bedford
Feb. 19, 1956 Sept. 17, 2004

Services will be held on Tuesday, September 21, at 10:00 a.m. at Valley 
Baptist Church, 4800 Fruitvale Ave., for Deanna Louise Bedford, who was born 
on February 19, 1956, in San Bernardino, CA and passed away September 17, 
2004, in Bakersfield, CA. 

She was preceded in death by her father, Floyd T. West Sr., and mother, Joyce 
(West) Stafford. She is survived by her husband and soul mate of 28 years, 
Terry; sons, David and Wayne; grandchildren, Austin and Havana; brother, Floyd 
West Jr. and wife, Lisa; sister, Nancy Sharp and Husband, John; sister, Debra 
Pace and husband, Gerald; and brother, David West and wife, Eileen. Deanna was 
a loving wife, mother and above all Nana. Her grandchildren were her greatest 
joy. She spent countless hours with her precious grandchildren making the time 
with them extremely special. She looked forward to her Wednesday dinners with 
Austin and Havana. Deanna was eagerly awaiting the birth of her third 
grandchild, Dylan Wayne, next month to Wayne and Janell.

Deanna spent most of her young life immersed in the activities of her two sons 
lives. She enjoyed contributing her time to the Rosedale 4-H Club and spent 
many hours involved with the Bakersfield High Wrestling Team. Deanna was the 
first one called to help out at a fund raising event or school function. She 
was well known in the community for having the most elaborate decorations for 
holidays. Deanna made every holiday and birthday a special occasion. People 
who knew Deanna and attended her parties considered her the ultimate hostess. 
When it was time to relax, she enjoyed spending time with her family at their 
vacation home in Pismo Beach.

Deanna owned and operated Endless Summer Tanning and Salon, which had become 
one of her many passions. She treasured her Endless Summer girls, old and new, 
who had become an extended family to her. Deanna loved her girls and wanted 
the best in life for all of them. She formed a special relationship with her 
manager Katie Peterson.

Deanna was a very generous person, donating to many local charities. In lieu 
of flowers, please send donations to the Bakersfield Homeless Center, one of 
her favorite charities.

Visitation will be Monday, 4-9 p.m. at Greenlawn Mortuary, 3700 River Blvd.


I loved you mama, I love you, Nana. Mommy, Im still your bodyguard, and always 
will be.

Love, Wayne.


Honey-Bunny, I will miss you everyday, 

love your Honey-Bunny
