"Colleen Patricia DePersia, 79, of Cameron Park, died Sept. 12 of lung disease. She was born Feb. 28, 1922, in Tulare.
Mrs. DePersia was a wonderful homemaker of 79 years and was the eldest of six children. Throughout her years, she always gave unselfishly to others in need. In World War II, she worked as a riveter for the American Naval Ships. In raising her children she was a den mother and was active in the Parent-Teacher's Association. She was a gracious host to family and friends and her passion was cooking - people would come from miles around for one of her home-cooked meals. Her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life and nothing broke her spirit.
She was survived by her husband, Ken DePersia; her son, James Broman of North Carolina; her daughter, Arta Green of Cameron Park; her brother, James Moore of Bishop; her sisters, Barbara Maresh of Bloomington and Jackie Spaulding of Las Vegas, Nev.; three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Interment was at Green Valley Cemetery.
