Latonia's Monta Pace, career saleswoman
Monta Pace of Latonia was always there to extend a hand - whether it was to her department store customers or the family members who called her mother, grandmother and great- grandmother.
"She could be strict at times, but she was always there to help everybody. She was very helpful, " said her son, Dennis Pace of Ludlow.
Mrs. Pace died Sunday night at Rosedale Manor in Covington. She was 84 years old.
A native of Covington, Mrs. Pace was a saleswoman with the Lazarus Department Store (formerly Shillito's) in downtown Cincinnati for about 25 years, much of that time in the hosiery department.
When she retired in the mid-1970s, she had more time to devote to one of her favorite pastimes: reading.
"She loved reading almost any kind of book she could get her hands on, " said Dennis Pace.
Mrs. Pace's husband, Fenton Pace, died in 1995.
Besides her son, Mrs. Pace is survived by five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
