Deborah came to earth July 1953, she was part of the eternal family of Florence and K.O. Burt, and welcomed by two adoring brothers Richard & James Burt. She grew up in El Cajon California and because her father was in the water well business she visited many of the western states. Deb was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later moved to Utah where she graduated from Springville High School in Springville. She pursued a higher education and graduated from the University of Utah with a Master's Degree. Deb was an Educational Therapist, a Learning Disability Specialist, and Behavioral Therapist. In Salt Lake City Deb reached out to those with learning difficulties and began her business of "Learning Differently." She took her endowment in the Salt Lake Temple and strived to live the Gospel. Deb loved all of Gods creations, she loved people, she loved animals especially her pets. Deb struggled to overcome health problems but always kept a good attitude. She loved Jesus Christ and set the example for her family and friends.

Interment will be in the Salt Lake City Cemetery under the direction of Olpin Family Mortuary, Pleasant Grove. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.olpinmortuary.com

Our neighborhood has had its fair share of partings this year. Deb has lived 2 houses down with her mom Florence for the past several years. Florence is 87 and has "mothered" me well. Florence helped me through all the GrandDad "stuff". Florence's perspective on life and death is heart opening. I think maybe that happens the longer you have been here? May I be a light and love in her life while she goes through yet another life transition.
