Deana we love and miss you!
July 6, 1981- September 3, 2007
(Deana and her adorable son Parker)

Deana did many wonderful things after High School. She attended Eastern AZ College where she studied music and participated and excelled in orchestra and choir. In 2002 she had her beautiful son, Parker Scott Fallers, whom she has said, is her greatest accomplishment. She lived in Thatcher for several years before also living in such places as Utah and the valley. Some of her favorite things to do were to be with her sisters, her family, her son and friends. She loved tennis, art, modeling and photography, as well as many, many other things. She will be remembered for her great smile(and beauty!),her many talents, enthusiasm about life and her devotion to her friends and family, especially her son Parker. Sadly, Deana passed from this life on September 3, 2007. If you have any memories you would like to share on here for her family and mother, please leave a comment!

Aunt DeAnna and Parker.

7. Briefly summarize any other major events that have happened in your life since graduation.
The condensed version: Had fun at EAC for a few years, fell in love, got married, moved to NAU, had kids, still in Flag enjoying life being a mom, wife and busy with family life!
8. What is your favorite memory of high school? Trips with speech/debate and mock-trial events. So many fun things happened. I also enjoyed the football games and dances.
9. What is your favorite song(s) from high school? So many. Oasis, U2,Bush, No Doubt, Jewel and Sarah McLachlan bring back a lot of memories from that time. Any 90's alternative hit really. I really enjoyed the music of that decade.
10. Who is the teacher you remember most from high school? Why?
Andrea Borg. The team spent so much time with her over the years she coached and she is a wonderful lady who sacrificed so much for our team. I also remember Dan Korzec for his fun class and his coaching time for mock-trial.
11. Have you been able to keep in contact with any former classmates? Who? Email has been a nice thing to have since I have not been able to see many people since HS. We all did our different things of course. I was roommates in college with Deana Barnes in 2000 though, and that was a really fun time. I also got to throw her baby shower in 2002. I really miss Deana, she was and always will be one of my favorite people. All of my other good friends in HS, thank you for all the good times!!:)

Good schools for our kids, etc. Personally, I do not like to think about my son being in HS though!:)
14. What is one accomplishment since high school that you are proud of? My family and my education!
15. What is one piece of advice you would give a future graduate of SJHS? Not to worry so much about what people think of you, be yourself, embrace what you love to do. Oh yeah, and even though SJ is a great place, try to see something else after HS at least for a little while, it is a big world out there.....
16. Did you have a favorite subject in HS? Did it influence your future job choice? I always loved English and the dramatic arts so yes, it totally influenced the majors I pursued. Mock-trial completely won me over and I hope to someday pursue something in the field someday.
17. Do you make it back to St.Johns very often? My parents are still there so I try to go back a couple of times a year to see them.
18. Do you have plans to attend the reunion? It turns out that is a busy weekend for us so I will be missing out. I do want to see the pictures though!

8. What is your favorite memory of high school?

I think my freshman year was my most favorite. Track meets and going to state, I didn't make state, but others did. I believe Coach Cox, refered to us {those who didn't make state} as the "peanut gallery" All of my memories are with Melissa, we had a lot of fun we still do.

I loved being on the Electric car team, too. And in Autos, I wasn't really ever ALLOWED to do any of the "real" work, because I was a girl, but I kept things clean and organized and it was just a fun place to be, Mr. Bell was my favorite teacher he always made sure we had good food to eat on the trips too, Even though red lobster was not my idea of good.

9. What is your favorite song(s) from high school?

I was really into Jewel and Matchbox20, Tom Petty, Live, Most of the Hit songs. I hated country back then, I'm not sure why.

10. Who is the teacher you remember most from high school? Why?

Mr. Bell I had him in autos and Electric car. He was just all around my favorite teacher.

11. Have you been able to keep in contact with any former classmates? Who?
Yeah, well Satya, of course, and Melissa Burdick the three of us still hang out ALL the time. Our kids are like cousins, well some of them ARE cousins, but whatever.

12. If you could go back, what would you change about your high school years?

I don't think I would change anything, I loved Highschool, well maybe I would change the way I dressed I was such a slob!

13. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?

5 years: I'll be 33 David will be 34 we'll pretty much be enjoying life the same way we do now, just with a few more kids. We'll still be living in Gold Canyon, maybe we will have built another house by then.
10 Years: We'll be parents of a teen-ager! If it was up to us, our lives would be the same, We're already living life the way we love it.

14. What is one accomplishment since high school that you are proud of?

Definatly being married and sealed to my husband, in a LDS Temple. It was a goal of mine as a young girl to be worthy to do so. And since becoming a mother, with each child I have felt the joy of that accomplishment, knowing that my children, are mine, not only in this life but for eternity.

Since graduating I've gotten married and still live in Arizona. I will be married for 9 years in September. We currently live in Buckeye, AZ. (Don't feel bad if you've never heard of it.) I met Shane in Thatcher while attending EAC. We had a pretty quiet life until we welcomed our first baby 2 years after our wedding. He was a big boy weighing 9lbs 2oz. Remington is now almost 7 and ready for 1st grade. Over the years we added two more kids. Both girls. Natalia is 3, she is very sweet and helpful, but if I turn my back I better be prepared for some craziness. She just can't keep those hands to herself. My mom says she reminds her of someone.(who could that be, I don't know?) Our littlest girl is Marissa and she is 17 months old. She is so funny, she can make the funniest faces. She even told me the other day that she wanted to use the potty! She loves her siblings and gets so excited when she sees them. She is so sweet. So now you may think we're done but we are expecting our next bundle in January. I'm a little nervous but excited. We're just hoping it's a boy. We need to even things out.

Shane is working as project engineer for heavy civil construction company. Right now he is over a water treatment plant in Eloy. We are not sure how long he will have a job because the company hasn't won any new bids and they are running out of work.

I run the household and try and keep things sane. I graduated from massage school about 5 years ago, but haven't really done much with it since I had my last baby. I really want to go back to school and get a nursing degree. We'll see.

Well that's me in a nutshell, I hope to see some of you at the reunion. See you soon.
