Christine "Chris" M. DeBalli

She was born in Spangler, PA and lived in Northern Cambria and Ebensburg, PA. After graduating from Central Cambria High School, Class of 1976, she moved to Florida and made it her home. She held various jobs but found her ideal career, which was owning and operating her own Pepperidge Farm distributorship for the last 20+ years. She was dedicated to her business and grew and built her company with total dedication, while developing many long-term personal relationships.

Chris was an avid animal lover, especially loved her rescued golden retrievers and had a passion for sea turtles.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Leo F., and Joan A. (Platko) Shutty. She is survived by her 2 daughters, Erin Leigh DeBalli and Erika Lynn (DeBalli) Mitchell (Scott Mitchell); and her 2 sisters - Kathy Waskowsky (James Matysik) and Karen Murgas. Her life companion was Thomas Bruce Bevlin (Children: Jenny DuPree (Sean DuPree), Chris Bevlin, and Brian Bevlin). She loved spending time with her 5 grandchildren – Mackroy Sims, Mackaya Sims, and Macaven Sims (Erin's children) Kiley Lenavitt and Gemma Mitchell (Erika's children) along with her nephew Michael Waskowsky.
