Her talents included cooking, sewing, crocheting, gardening, jewelry making and painting. When Deena retired from Sears, she devoted much of her time to painting, even serving as President of the Metairie Art Guild. She traveled the world quite a bit, especially cruises. She attended St. Edwards Hill Toppers luncheons and Telephone Pioneers socials. She loved being with family and playing cards and games.
