**Gone but not forgotten **

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Della Koen who left us on 12/26/25. Della served in the US NAVY from 1999-2003 . She was an active veteran that helped changed the lives of other veterans by helping raise money for their families when needed. She was an amazing mother & friend who touched the lives of everyone around her.

Her infectious smile would light up every room & she was so selfless when caring for others. Always putting everyone before herself. She was so vibrant, giving, loving, & her soul is so beautiful.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She survived by her 2 children she loved with all of her heart, Alex & Lauren Koen

We are all heartbroken over this loss & were not prepared for the unexpected financial burden of this sudden tragedy.

We want to give Della the dignified & heartfelt send-off she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes.

We are reaching out to our community for support. Anything helps.

Funds raised will go directly toward covering specificly:

*  cremation costs

* Memorial arrangements
