ST. GEORGE -- Deon Little Wall, age 92, passed away at her home on Thursday,
December 2, 2004, surrounded by family, enduring well to the end. She was born
November 8, 1912 in Diamondville, Wyoming to John Syme and Myrtle Taylor
Little. While still a small girl, the family moved to Salt Lake City, where
Deon attended school, graduating from LDS High. Following the untimely death
of her mother, her father married Ellen Cowan (Nell) who lovingly raised both
her and her brother, Elvin. Deon married Clarence T. Wall, and the marriage
was later solemnized in the Logan Temple on July 30, 1946.
Deon had the opportunity to live in many parts of the country due to
Clarence's careers. She loved the association of others and shared her talents
of quilting, baking, and love of music. Everywhere they lived, lasting and
loving friendships were made, always finding ways to be of help and service to
others. After moving to St. George in 1979, following Clarence's retirement,
they had the privilege of serving a mission in the Missouri Independence
Mission. Deon had a great influence for good and touched the lives of many.

she was faced with and made the most of it.
