Desa Setlich Obituary
Desa Christine Setlich December 31, 1970, our loving Desa returned home to our Lord on October 11, 2014 at the tender age of 43. Born in Glendale CA, and resident in Laguna Hills for the past 13 years, Desa was proceeded in death by father Peter J. Setlich and Liberia J. Setlich , and is survived by her pride and joy, her only daughter, Petra Ostashay , and her siblings Greg (Lynn) Setlich, Eric (Laurette) Setlich, Stacey (Dean) Dragoyevich, 8 nieces and nephews and 1 great niece. Energetic, loving, spiritual, and caring; it is difficult to write about a magnificent life in so few words. Desa was very courageous during her short battle, and always remained selfless. Desa will forever be remembered as a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Vigil and Rosary will be on Thursday, October 23, 2014 at 7:00pm O'Connor Mortuary, 25301 Alicia Pkwy, Laguna Hills, CA.

"For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." Lamentations 3:31-33
I enjoyed the times we spent together. Kind of hard to put it all into words. We pray the love of God enfolds your family during this difficult time.

Petra and members of Desa's family,
My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Desa was certainly one in a million - she had a heart of gold, with a beautiful soul and was a selfless individual even towards the end of her short battle. Please be at peace that she is no longer suffering and know that her legacy will forever live on. May she Rest In Peace.
