Deanna passed away peacefully after a struggle with cancer.

Beloved sister of the late Stephen Taranowski and Paulette Cramer. Dear Sister-in-law of Phyllis Taranowski. Loving aunt of Paula (Nick) Simpson, Steven Taranowski, Pamela Cramer-Griffin, and Paul Cramer. She was deeply loved by her great nieces and nephews, Emily and Owen Simpson and Jade and Charles Griffin. Dear friend of the late Brian.  She was very dearly loved and will be deeply missed by her church family and friends.

Deanna was born in Detroit and went to St. Luke's grade school and Fordson High School. She worked for the Dearborn Public Schools and Our Lady of Loretto School as well as the family bakery.

She volunteered at her church Our Lady of Loretto and Redford Interfaith Relief. She was very sad when she could no longer take care of the flower garden and help with anything needed at the church because of her illness.
