Deanna Wahl, 74, of Ankeny, passed away at Taylor House Hospice on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. She grew up in Iowa City and earned her bachelor and master degrees at University of Iowa and taught elementary school in Iowa City and Des Moines for several years.
In 1963 she married Don Wahl and soon took on the task of managing her husband’s dental practice which she did until retirement providing support and comfort to many patients.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband, Don, of Ankeny and sisters, Barbara and Joan. She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister Nancy. Her favorite kitty, Velvet, will probably miss her most of all.
Funeral service will be held at noon on Wednesday, October 23, 2013, at Ankeny Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Iowa Veterans Cemetery in Adel. Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, at the Funeral Home. On-line condolences may be expressed at www.AnkenyFuneralHome.com.
