After moving to Aiken, SC she worked for five years at Woodward/White as editor and researcher. Then she taught middle school language arts and health at Mead Hall Episcopal School in Aiken, a source of great enjoyment and satisfaction from the interaction with her students. Following retirement from Mead Hall, she accepted students on a private basis for tutoring. Deanna was an intelligent, articulate woman with a passion for reading.
