Deon VaeRee McDonald
March 25, 1934 - June 14, 2016
Deon VaeRee Jensen McDonald, 82, peacefully returned to her Father in Heaven on June 14, 2016 after an extended illness. She was born on March 28, 1934 to Reed and Vaoma Brockbank Jensen. She enjoyed the experiences of growing up in Salt Lake City and becoming a mother and grandmother here. A constant resource of sewn and knitted products, Deon gave generously to those around her and to charities that could get those items to those in need. Deon is survived by her son, Randall (Sally) Peterson; daughters, Terry Peterson (Steve) Dayhuff and Ashley Watts; brother, Ronald (Diane) Jensen; sister, Judy Malouf; 15 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Darci Peterson Cross. As Deon marshaled her forces to endure the past several years, she thrilled at seeing her grandchildren and always spoke caringly of the day she would return to her family on the other side.
