Deanna C. Aguilar passed away peacefully on April 2nd surrounded by family and loved ones in Fremont, California. She was 76 years old. She touched many lives through her humor, fierce loyalty, generosity and friendship. Born April 25th, 1944 in Maui, Hawaii to Eliza & George Arroy, Deanna was a very loving mother and grandmother. She shared her love in many ways including through sewing, crocheting, dancing, cooking and the general joy of being around her family – especially her grandkids. She loved life and enjoyed traveling, car shows, cruising around in the families vintage cars and watching true crime, westerns, the news, jeopardy and most importantly, the commercials. She was fulfilled by the life she built with her one true love, Richard who had been so since she was 15. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Richard H. Aguilar, brothers Gary and Kenny Arroy, son Michael Aguilar, daughter Valerie and her husband Marty Flaton, grandchildren Kristina, Aleya, and Anthony Aguilar, Ashley & Ethan Brehm, Brianna & Dylan Cuddy, Carissa and Daniella Flaton and three great-grandsons Louis, Charlie and Vincent, as well as the many friends she made throughout her life. Deanna loved Angels, and she is now rejoined with her favorite angel of all R. Anthony Aguilar, her son who joined the heavens at 5, as well as her siblings George and Tommy Arroy who went before her. God has taken back a very special and loving person and we know the lord is happy to have her home.
