Deanna Sue Gallion

Born on February 1, 1947, in Gainesville, Texas, Deanna moved to Edmond as an infant and proudly called it home for the rest of her life. She graduated from Edmond High School in 1965 and married her high school sweetheart, Wayne Gallion, on October 28, 1965. Together they founded Gallion Excavating, building a successful business and a life centered on hard work, faith, and family.

After Wayne's passing in 1998, Deanna found her greatest joy in the family they had built together. Known affectionately as "Grammy," she treasured every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

A gifted artist and talented seamstress, Deanna loved painting, sewing, and creating beautiful things. Her creativity knew no bounds, and her determination and independence were evident in everything she did, from her artwork to the projects she tackled around her home.

Deanna is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Justin and LouAnn Gallion; daughter and son-in-law, Marty and William Back; grandchildren Stephanie Doray (husband Zac), Jared Scherber (wife Roxy Barnett), Jessi Gallion, Tyler Gallion, M'Lissa Hoskins (husband Mark), and Cooper Newport; and great-grandchildren Kai, Will, Wessex, Ainsley, Amelia Kate, and Easton.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Wayne Gallion.

Her hands created beautiful works of art, but her greatest masterpiece was the family she loved so deeply. ❤️

A Celebration of Life will be held at Baggerley Funeral Home, 930 South Broadway, Edmond, OK 73034, on November 16, 2026, at 10:00 am.
