DARLENE CALAS Obituary

Darlene Joan Calas Memorial visitation for Darlene Joan Calas, 76, will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of the memorial service at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7, at the Willow Creek Community Church Chapel, 67 E. Algonquin Road, South Barrington, IL 60010. Darlene was born Jan. 8, 1936, in Chicago, IL, the daughter of the late John and Agnes (nee Peterson) Davey, and passed away peacefully on Monday, Sept. 24, 2012, at the Pepper Family Hospice Home in Barrington. Darlene enjoyed being active and some of her hobbies included being a proficient dancer, golfer, bridge player, bowler and she also loved to travel. Darlene will also be remembered for being very thoughtful as she was truly a Hallmark Individual always sending cards for every special occasion and event for family and friends. Most important in her life was the love that she had for her family. She will be missed by all. She was the devoted wife of the late Andrew "Andy" Calas, who preceded her in death in February of 2010; loving mother of Craig (Marietta) Calas, Candy (Jeff) Borst and Curt (Jeanne) Calas; cherished grandmother of Nicole, Danielle and Andrew Calas, Becky, Brittany, Brian and Ben Borst, and J.J. and Olivia Calas; dear sister of the late Dolores Dowling and Donald Davey; and sister-in-law of Nancy Davey. Memorials in memory of Darlene would be appreciated for Hospice and Palliative Care of Northeastern Illinois, 405 Lake Zurich Road, Barrington, IL 60010. Arrangements were made by Ahlgrim Family Funeral Home, Palatine. For information, 847-358-7411 or www.ahlgrimffs.com.
