Deonne (Dee) Brinkerhoff

January 3, 1960 - December 27, 2019

Our courageous Mother, Daughter, sister and Friend became our guardian angel on Dec. 27th 2019 In the comfort of her home surrounded by family. Mom you will be greatly missed by so many, your sass, whit and sometimes fierce nature will come alive with every memory and each time we see a beautiful garden of blooming roses or veggies, taking in a stroll in the hills gazing at the trees or admiring rock formations. You’ve passed down that love to your children and grandchild, which will keep you with us always. Our memories also include your love for animals. Throwing sticks for dogs in the yard to being part of the dogpile on the couch. We are happy knowing that you and your fur child Sinner are together and playing. Your fur grandchild Duce still sleeps in your bed and waits for you at the door. Those that you opened your door to and gave your last dollar to I know appreciate your big generous heart. As you use to say to me “you can’t have enough good karma”. You entered this world and landed in the arms of Lynda Anderson. A few years later you were joined with a sister Monica whom you loved so much. You started and ended your adventure in Salt Lake City. You graduated from Skyline High school in which you gained a partner in crime Claren the friendship you two had was a true sisterly bond. As a surprise your next big adventure would be a bundle of joy the birth of your daughter Lindsey, the bond of mother and daughter can often be challenging but, in the end your bond was full of trust, gratitude and so much love. You were not done creating life 6 years later you gifted Lindsey with a baby brother Gentry. A memory I remember as if it was yesterday, you placed him in my hands and I said “thanks for the baby”. Gentry and you became best friends through thick and thin. Gentry ended up giving you the greatest gift a parent could ask for, a grandchild named Jaxon the lil’ mister in your world, your buddy. Gentry has started to teach Jaxon the love of nature, a precious gift that he learned from you. We know that you are telling future baby Hudson everything to get ready for, and enjoying every minute of it. You are so loved and missed, watch over your clan make your presence known when you can. Fly Angel Fly for now there are no more tears in heaven. She was preceded in death by her brother-in-law Reed Baier, her beloved step father Judge John R Anderson and Fur child Sinner.
