Debra Dawn Maso

Debra (Deb) was born in Spencer, Iowa on February 6, 1954, to Duane and Margaret (Tate) Blake and died peacefully at home in Fort Collins, Colorado on September 18, 2023.

Deb was married to Robert Maso on September 27, 1980 at the Prince of Peace Chapel in Aspen Colorado and is survived by him, daughter Lauren Maso, sister Kara Blake, nephew Ryan Blake, niece Robin (Blake) Stathopulos, and an extended step family.

She attended Aims Community College where she earned an Associates Degree in Child Development, and went on to found the Rainbow Center for Young Children in Carbondale Colorado. Deb had a lifelong passion for children and took pride in knowing that many of her "Rainbow Kids" went on to be successful in their adult lives.

Deb was a devoted mother to her daughter Lauren, guiding her development and education throughout her life.

In accordance with Deb's wishes there is no memorial service planned at this time. For those who wish to the family kindly requests that contributions be made to Breast Cancer Research or related organizations. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating disease.

Deb will be sorely missed by her family and friends, and we will cherish the memories of the time we were blessed to have with her.
