Karen DePace Obituary

Karen Lynn DePace passed away November 19, 2007. Karen was a loving wife to David DePace for 28 years, and a loving mother to sons Marcus and Daniel DePace. Karen was a loving sister to younger brothers John and David Andrews. Karen made a special mark on each of us that will live in our hearts forever. Among the many things Karen especially loved to do were vacationing, arts and crafts, going to concerts with her sons, and rooting for her favorite team "The Rattlers" Karen will be especially remembered for her love of family and friends, and her passion of love for animals and the rescue of animals. Karen volunteered for many years at the Sun Valley Animal Shelter and served on the board of directors. Services will be held Saturday November 24, 2007 at 3:00 PM at Best Funeral Services 9380 West Peoria Ave. 85345. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made in honor of Karen DePace to Sun Valley Animal Shelter 7150 N 110th Ave Glendale, AZ 85307 (623)872-7941.
