CeCe DeLaca Obituary

Peacefully and surrounded by her family, CeCe "CeCeMa" DeLaca passed away on September 9, 2020 at the age of 77. She will be lovingly remembered and cherished by her husband of 56 years, Ken "Papoo" DeLaca, daughters, Shelley Bard (Troy), Chrissie Menesini (Mark), Julie Hearn (Todd); grandchildren, Presley Anderson (Kirk), Mackenzey and Callan Bard, Austin and Justin Menesini, Breck and Brady Hearn; great-grandbabies, McKenley, Klayton, Kohen, Kenny and Holden. She will also be missed by her dearest friends. Predeceased by her loving mother, Lucille "Grandma Lu" Von der Haar. CeCe was raised in Vallejo, CA and graduated from St. Vincent Ferrer High School in 1961. CeCe and Kenny's love story started on July 25, 1964. Their everlasting love strengthened with each passing year. They loved travelling to the Oregon coast, they shared the love of fishing and watching all their grandchildren's athletic events. CeCeMa loved crocheting, knitting, sewing and creating beautiful keepsakes for her family. CeCe's sweet spirit was kind-hearted, loving and giving. It started with a kiss and ended with a kiss. Until we meet again. Arrangements are under the direction of Twin Chapels Mortuary. Please visit the online tribute at www.twinchapelsmortuary.com

I grew up on Webb St. across from Cece’s family on Hilton Ct. The neighborhood kids played in the court. Kenny would throw the ball with the boys, the girls would sit with CeCe on the curb. All the girls had big crushes on Kenny and the boys felt the same about CeCe. I always thought they were so grown up and sophisticated. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Happy to read CeCe had a wonderful life...a successful marriage, children, grandchildren...a loving family. I am grateful for my lovely childhood memories.

I grew up on Webb Street across from Cece’s family on Hilton Ct. All the neighborhood kids played in the court and I remember Kenny and CeCe sitting on the curb watching us. They were like the celebrity couple to us kids. Kenny sometimes would throw the ball with the boys and us girls would sit with CeCe and watch. I always thought they were so grown up and sophisticated. And once Kenny took each of us kids on a ride on his motorcycle. Very exciting...especially since all us girls had big crushes on Kenny. I am so sorry for your loss. Sounds like CeCe had a wonderful life...a successful marriage, children and grandchildren...a loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am grateful for my lovely childhood memories of CeCe and Kenny.

My dear Aunt CeCe was a second Mom to my sisters and me and to many. My fondest memories was spending most weekends with them before they got married. I remember making that trip to Reno in 1964. That was the beginning of their life together. I LOVE and will MISS you dearly.
