.jpg)
Deanna Olson was born and raised (mostly) in Oklahoma!
BOOMER SOONER!! She has served at FBC Moore since 1998, where she began as Music Administrative Assistant and then switched roles into church pianist in January 2002, after becoming a mom.
Deanna has a Bachelors of Music Degree in Piano Performance with emphasis on Piano Pedagogy (teaching piano) from Oklahoma Baptist University. She has always loved playing the piano since she was a child, having taken lessons all the way from grade school through college, as well as playing by ear. Now, she passes that love of learning to play/read music through her piano students in her private piano studio at her home.
Deanna is also our Children’s and Adult Handbell Director. She has rung handbells from jr. high through college and has a real passion for teaching music through another area of worship. She is in her third year of directing the Children’s Handbell choir, for which she arranges all of their music. She is in her second year of directing the Adult Handbell choir, known as The FBC Moore Bell Charmers, and is excited about the opportunities for them to ring in worship as well as for other events at FBC Moore.
Deanna has been married to Ron Olson (Customer Care Rep for Ideal Homes) for 16 years and loves her “Date Nights” with him. They have two daughters, Jacey (age 9) and Carly (age 5). They love going on vacation together, watching movies and having fun playing the Wii.
Deanna also has a home business called Picture This. She creates all kinds of different projects with pictures from calendars to wall collages to picture DVD’s. She has also taken up a love for quilting and loves making picture and t-shirt quilts as part of her business.
In all she does, Deanna’s prayer is that others will see Jesus Christ through her and that she can be a joyful blessing to those around her.
