Mom was born the third child of Lewis Eugene and Emma Charlotte Cole Whitaker on November 27, 1916 at the home of her grandparents in Willard, Utah. Mom was raised in Promontory, Utah, on the family's dry farm. As a teenager, mom spent the school years living with families in Brigham City, working her way through high school. Mom graduated from Box Elder High School in 1935. Mom married Justin Kimball Deem on November 21, 1935. They spent 37 years together before he passed away on October 14, 1972. They lived in Ogden, Utah; Idaho; California; Oregon; Colorado; and returned to Utah in 1946 settling in Willard, Utah.

Mom and John enjoyed each other's company and traveled every winter to Arizona; California, and Mexico prior to settling in Circle City, Arizona and then in St. George.

Mom spent over 25 years serving in the primary, many years in the Relief Society and was a visiting teacher for almost 50 years. One of moms greatest joys was attending the Temple which she did on a regular basis. Mom's life was full of service to others. She was always the center of her family and her family was the center of her life. Mom had a gentle, sweet sprit - it was a joy to be with her.

Jordan; Arnold Whitaker of Bear River City; Maxine Nelson of Layton; Norma and Harold Larsen of Brigham City; Darwin and Arloa Whitaker of St. George; LaVar and Colleen Whitaker of Concord, California; Florence Whitaker of Farr West; Lucille Deem of Huntsville and her numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was preceded in death by her parents, husbands Justin and John, her son Curtis L, her grandson Jeffery Lynn Deem and her brothers Edward and Jarvis Whitaker. Mother was a very independent lady and she lived alone taking care of her needs almost to the end of her life. Each of us wanted mom to come and live with us, but mom would say; "that's not my way - I need to stay home as long as I can." We love you Mother and miss you already. We would like to very sincerely thank those who took such wonderful care of our mother, Dr. Gary Christensen, whom she adored. The wonderful people at McKay Dee Hospital; moms grandson-in-law Dr. Robert Ziegler, Dr Milavetz, Dr. Baumann, her nurse Jeff Goss, and social worker Brandy.
