Betty Deakin

Betty Nimori Deakin passed away on September 1, 2026, at her home in Perry, Utah. She was born on May 23, 1950, in Sugar City, Idaho to Richard and Shigako Doi Nimori. Betty was the embodiment of love, laughter, and unwavering support. Betty's nurturing spirit was the glue that kept her family close, and her sparkling humor was the light that brightened their days. She was a beacon of thoughtfulness, always putting others before herself.

Betty spent most of her professional life in the banking industry, where her dedication, vibrant energy, and infectious smile touched the hearts of her colleagues and customers alike. Her work was not just a job, but a platform to make a positive impact on people's lives. After Betty's retirement, her focus shifted entirely to her family, the cornerstone of her life. Whether it was playing games with her grandchildren, or watching them play sports, Betty was ever-present and engaged, her love for them evident in every interaction.

Betty's love story with her husband, Mike, was one of a kind. They spent countless hours riding motorcycles, camping in the Utah mountains, and occasionally venturing to Wendover. Their shared love for adventure and family framed their life, creating a tapestry of beautiful memories that will be cherished forever. Betty also demonstrated profound strength and compassion in caring for her daughter, Jessica. This act of selfless love defined Betty's essence as a nurturing, supportive, and loving mother.

She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Nimori; mother, Shigako Doi Nimori; brothers, Jeffrey and Richard Nimori; nephew, Samuel Nimori; her father-in-law, David Deakin; and sister-in-law, Kathy Wilkerson.

Betty Deakin leaves behind her husband, Michael Deakin; children, Jeff (Tim) Deakin, Jessica Deakin, and Josh (Juanita) Deakin; grandchildren, Joseph and Isabella Deakin; mother-in-law, Donna Deakin; brothers, Milo, Kenny, and Lloyd Nimori.
