Anna Deane Millett, 96, passed away on September 20, 2019. She was a graduate of Stephens College in Missouri and USC in Los Angeles. She also completed a master's degree in Sociology from ASU. While in LA, she married Max Millett, who was also from Arizona and had graduated from USC in accounting, and was working as a CPA for the company that built the Pan American Highway. When Anna and Max returned to Arizona, Anna got a job with the Maricopa County Child Welfare Department. She also did substitute teaching in the public schools. Later she got her real estate license, and eventually became a broker, so she could help Max as he developed the Mesa farm he grew up on. Anna Deane served on the Board of Friends of Family Service which raised funds for Family Service Agency. She also served on the Board for the Phoenix Youth Symphony for many years, on the Board for the Arizona Historical Society and she joined the Historical League to help raise funds for the museum.
