Deela Krause Obituary

DEELA JANE KRAUSE MAY 21, 1942 - DEC, 7, 2010 Deela Jane Krause went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday, December 7th at 7:15 AM. Dee lived a very full, happy, and selfless life. She blessed, brightened and loved as she gave of herself daily. She ministered to many people through her business, Nails by Dee, for over 20 years. Her absence will leave a void in the heart sand lives of those who knew and loved her. She will be dearly missed...her memories will continue to brighten our days. Dee is survived by: her husband of 45 happy years John Krause, son Kurt Krause (Libby), daughter Janetta DeMott (Mark), her only grandchild Matthew Krause, and a countless number of extended family and friends. Celebration services will be held on Thursday, December 23 at 1:00 p.m. in Monte Vista Chapel's South Educational Room in Turlock. In lieu of flowers, you may donate to a cause dear to Dee's heart: www.autismspeaks.org or feel free to bring an ornament to hang on the Christmas tree at the Celebration service in honor of Dee. www.modbee.com/obituaries

John - I will always remember Dee as your lovely bride of 45 years ago. It was obvious you were a happy man, and it soon became obvious you had good reason to be ... she was the perfect life partner for you, and a great "in-law" for the rest of the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

John, Janetta and Kurt - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I grew up with Deela (distant cousins) and we spent many happy times together, school, work and shopping. When I think of her I remember us sitting outside, when very young, with soda and corn chips - we would dip the curved chips into the soda and try to get it in our mouths before losing the soda. Shopping for shoes was a big thing because she could always find lots of shoes that were on show because she had the dainty little feet (size 4) and I had a harder time because I wore a larger size. We had some good times growing up. Rest in peace Deela.
