Deborah Anne McDaniel-Regan, 45

In loving memory of Deborah Anne McDaniel-Regan, who was born on Nov. 4, 1964, in Hollywood, Calif., and passed away on June 8, 2010. Deborah found passion in helping people and animals. Her commitment to helping families in El Monte, Calif.; nonprofits on the Central Coast; low-income housing projects and Habitat for Humanity in Montana; plus her innate ability to find four-paw stranded critters speaks volumes of her kind heart. Like a candle in the wind, her beautiful light was extinguished too soon. She is survived by her son, Anthony; mother, Carole; siblings, Anthony, Christina and Wendi; nieces, Ella, Sophia and Chloe; nephew, Cody; and numerous friends and colleagues. The family will honor her life and joyous memories on Aug. 7, by scattering her ashes in Long Beach, Calif. If anyone would like further information, please contact family or friends for details. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you donate to your favorite charity in memory of Deborah.
