Deborah DePinto, who grew up in a restaurateur family, fittingly was a chef de cuisine in CU Boulder's Campus Dining Services.

DePinto died in June, news that came as a shock to her CU Boulder family. DePinto, the mother of two children, who began working at CU Boulder more than 10 years ago, was known as an exemplary hard worker. 

She was probably the hardest working person I've ever met in my life,” Paul Houle, director of campus dining services said to the Daily Camera. “She was always trying to get better and always wanted to do the best she could.

“She'll be missed.”

Colleagues looking for support services are encouraged to contact CU Boulder's Office of Victim Assistance and the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
