Karin Delia Del Vecchio, 93, of Fort Worth, Texas, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 6, 2025 from a brief illness. She was born June 15, 1932, in White Plains, New York, to Nicholas C. Haverty and Delia (Fahey) Haverty.

In her early years Karin found her passion in fashion and retail, working as a sales associate and model for Macy's Department Store in New York. On April 19, 1952, she married the "love of her life", Romeo Raymond Del Vecchio, in White Plains. Shortly thereafter, Ray's military service brought them to Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

In 1956, Karin and Ray purchased Stinson's Drug in Lawton, Oklahoma. Renamed Ray's Pharmacy, it became their life's work for decades and a beloved community fixture. They found great pleasure in serving generation after generation of customers.

Karin and Ray traveled extensively to several countries. They especially enjoyed their travels to Ireland and Italy to connect with family in both and making new friends along the way.

Karin's spirit of giving led her to be deeply involved in the cultural life of Lawton. She was a founding member of the Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra and active with Carolyn Hunt, Lawton Community Theater, The Four Seasons Dance Club, Southwest Opera Guild, Arts for All, and Lawton Community Concerts. She was a long-time member of Holy Family Catholic Church.

Known for her grace, elegance, and poise, Karin embraced every opportunity to be with family and friends and never turned down an invitation to go anywhere; shopping, dining, live music etc... In 2013 she moved to Fort Worth to be closer to family, immersing herself in arts and crafts, painting, dance, Tai Chi, listening to live music, and any performance that sparked her curiosity.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ray; and her sister, Nancy Fine. Karin is survived by her sister, Beverly (Chickie) Small of Frisco, Texas; her sons, Duane and Darren Del Vecchio; her daughter, Dawn Riell and husband Jeff, her grandchildren, Jamie Riell and wife Carol, Ashlee Ellis and husband Kris and treasured great-grandchildren Chloe, Avery, Hayes, Holland, London and Bowen and several nieces and nephews scattered around the country.

Donations can be made in Karin's honor to Parker County Committee on Aging (www.PCCOA.org). She spent a great deal of time at the Weatherford senior center since moving to Parker County this past year. She made new friends, dined with them, participated in art classes and crushed it at bingo!
