Deborah Gayle Solorzano's Obituary
SOLORZANO, Deborah Gayle Arduengo LaRocca (52) entered into rest on December 20, 2011, surrounded by family, friends, and her very dear neighbors, Ron & Leslie Campbell, after a 10 year battle with Cancer. A lifelong resident, Debbie attended local schools and worked as a bi-lingual aide at Mendenhall Elementary where she made many friendships that became her extended family. She retired, as a clerk, from the office of the Clerk of the Courts. Her tireless work ethic sustained her throughout her illness, as well as her belief that we should love each other, as Christ loves us. Family and friends will miss the unselfish, caring love she gave in all her relationships, and her beautiful "Green Eyes." Debbie was a loving daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother, predeceased by her father, Manuel Arduengo; mother, Matilde "Mimi" Lemus Arduengo LaBarbera; sister, Shirley Perez Tavolaccio; brother, Kenneth Ray Arduengo. She is survived by her daughter, Valorie LaRocca Hatfield (Daniel); sons, Mark Larocca (Rebecca), Jon and Stephen Solorzano; grandsons, Micah Hatfield, Santino LaRocca; brother, Manuel Perez (Angie); sisters, Judy Arduengo Diaz, Sandra Arduengo Jaudon (Ron); nephews, Michael Perez, Jimmy Tavolaccio, Brian Jaudon, Justin Diaz, Angelo Arduengo; nieces, ChrisAnn Perez Bradley, Vickie Tavolaccio, Jill Perez, Kimberly Lahey; aunts, Anita Albano; Margaret & Carrie Lemus; uncles, Max, Marcelino (Mary) & Mariano Lemus (Dalia); and many loved cousins. A Memorial visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 27th, at Boza & Roel Funeral Home, 4730 Armenia Ave, from 6PM to 9PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society. Interment will be private.
