(Barnett) and Ward L. Allen, Jr. DeeAnn was raised in Salt Lake City, the third oldest of seven children. One of her favorite pastimes was hanging out with her sisters or friends and listening to music. She spent time looking after her younger siblings and taking them on walks. She was also an avid reader throughout her life. DeeAnn married Curtis Elvin Bozeman, Sr. on July 19, 1975 in Reno, Nevada. They were the parents of three children. They raised their children in Ryndon, Nevada and while her children were young, she was the local babysitter. Friends still mention how good she was with all the neighborhood children.
