Note: BIO:"Sis", as she was known to friends and family, was the beloved mother of seven children. She was born and raised in Danbury and attended
local schools, graduating from Danbury High in 1942. During high
school she was known as "Deke". Her father, "Gus" Deakin was Town
Clerk of Danbury for many years. Sis was an avid golfer and regular
bowler in the winter months. She was a long time volunteer for the
American Heart Association and the Boy Scouts. She regularly took on
painting and decorating projects at her home on Deer Hill, painting
and papering the whole house several times. She was an avid reader and
was known to read several books a week, usually one of the Harlequin
Romance series. She retired to Atlantis, Florida in 1976. Still not
happy with her own coffee, she travelled to Dunkin Donuts every
morning for coffee and a donut to go. She died of cancer in 1986 while
her daughters, Marnie and Ann were visiting Atlantis. We miss you Mom.
