Deceased Name: Deaun Moulton Weed
Deaun Moulton Weed departed this "frail existence" March 12, 1999, following a valiant five-year struggle with the effects of multiple myeloma.

This Lovely Lady came into the world February 20, 1919, in Heber City, Utah, the daughter of Hyrum Chase and Margaret Lillian Cummings Moulton. For 80 years she has been a source of joy and happiness to many who knew and loved her. Her entire life epitomized the "true love of Christ."

Deaun attended school in Heber City and Salt Lake City, graduating from South High School in 1937. She later attended Brigham Young University. On August 28, 1946, she married Floyd Barg Weed in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of six children whom she fondly referred to as her "Weed Patch". She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has served faithfully from her earliest years as an organist, teacher, leader of youth and Relief Society and president of the ward Primary at age 70. From 1944 to 1945 she served in the Southern California Mission. From 1985 to 1988 she served as companion to her husband as mission president in the Thailand Bangkok Mission. They also served together as full-time missionaries on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, a wonderful experience.

Deaun is survived by her husband, Floyd, and their six children: Marilyn Abney (K.C.) of Orem, Utah; Ranonne Cottrell (Brent) of Clifton, Virginia; Randall F. Weed (Brenda) of Henderson, Nevada; Janice McKinnon (Paul) of Austin, Texas; Stephen M. Weed (Heidi) of Boise, Idaho; and Karen Barker (David) of Salt Lake City; with 30 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Brothers and sisters: Evelyn McDougal (Delmer), Maxine Owen Webb (Lavar), Floyd Chase Moulton (Elaine), E. Jay Moulton (Betty), Rex C. Moulton (Jackie), Mardene Folkersen (Ronald), and Dale E. Moulton also survive her. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Norma Montgomery (Neal) and Fern Chapman (David); and brother, Duane Moulton.

A special service will be held for Deaun at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 17, 1999 at the Cottonwood Heights Stake Center, 6890 South 2225 East. Friends may call on Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 South Highland Drive and at the stake center on Wednesday from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to services.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of your plasma cells, a type of white blood cell present in your bone marrow — the soft, blood-producing tissue that fills in the center of most of your bones. The cause of this disease isn't known.

Plasma cells usually make up less than 5 percent of the cells in your bone marrow. But if you have multiple myeloma, a group of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) multiplies to make up more than 10 percent of the cells in your bone marrow. The result can be erosion of your bones. The disease also interferes with the function of your bone marrow and immune system, which can lead to anemia and infection. More infections tend to occur later in the disease. Multiple myeloma may also cause problems with your kidneys.

The disease is called multiple myeloma because abnormal myeloma cells can occur in multiple bone marrow sites in your body.

About 47,000 Americans have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and nearly 15,000 people are diagnosed with the disease each year. Multiple myeloma is responsible for more than 10,000 deaths in the United States annually.

If you have the disease but you're not experiencing symptoms, you may just need your doctor to monitor your condition. A variety of treatments are available if you're experiencing symptoms.
