Darlene May "Dali" Shafer

Still smile when I see Freckles & Pinky Pie after their first visit with Darlene!

Found a wonderful memory of the day Darlene cleaned Freckles and Pinky Pies teeth! They both left with sparkling smiles!

Although I only met Darlene on several occasions I think of her often. I suppose it was her genuine concern for all the dogs and their owners that made an impression on me. Her kind heart, her big smile and her non judgmental help is still with me today. She was a very special person! RIP❤

I just happened to open an e-mail sent from hounds tooth and learned about her passing, I am in shock- what a beautiful, beautiful soul she was! I will miss her and her gentle smile and amazing way with my pet...she was the ONLY one who could handle him RIP <3

I just found out of Dali passing. What a sweet gentle soul.many years ago I would bring my little Chihuahua for her to clean her teeth and she would very lovingly and gently trim her nails and cradle her as she cleaned her teeth and put my girl in a trance. I can just imagine the reunion Dali had, when all these dogs welcomed her with their pearly whites.. I'm happy thinking my little Chihuahua, Maxine has another friend up there... Rest sweet lady

I first met Dali in 2010 and enjoyed our meetings once or twice a year since then. She was masterful in dealing with all of our dogs and cats, showing no fear or hesitation to give them a clean set of teeth. She let me observe how she did it, so I could try it myself at home. We talked about many other subjects besides the teeth of my pets. I knew she was ill when she cleaned our dog's teeth in July 2017 but only just learned of her passing. I now realize she passed a month later, then...

We waited to hear from you again for the kitchen, one of our most amazing tile customers, someone who was easy to work with and who enjoyed and appreciated our work. I just realized you'd passed months ago, we never knew. We were in the area and saw some children outside at your house... I looked you up online, Shocked! I want your family and friends to know how fabulous you were to us. The best -Art and June Gagne

Oh Dali, I'm ao very sorry to hear of your passing. You were always a bright shining star. You & your sister always brought nothing but humor & professionalism anywhere you went. Your upbeat attitude, hardwood & continuous smile will be sorely missed. My prayers go out to your family during this very difficult time.

I met Darlene on several occasions while getting my dog's teeth cleaned. What a wonderful gentle soul. She really touched my heart as I remember what a kind woman she seemed to be. Glad I got to meet her!!!
