Debbie Corral Obituary

Debbie Corral, beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, died Nov. 2, 2012, at her home in Tucson, Ariz., after losing her long battle with cancer. Her husband of 26 years Edgar Corral; son, Rory Macleod; and daughter, Savannah Corral; sister, Terri Gibbs of Dallas; brothers: Bobby Gibbs of Austin, and Jimmy Gibbs of Dallas; survive her, along with other family members: Brandin Klepfer, Norma Amparan, Abraham Perez, Logan and Haley Walton, and Tyler and Riley Gibbs. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Bob and Mary Gibbs; and sister, Kathy Walton.
Debbie graduated from Carlsbad High School in 1973, and attended New Mexico State University in Las Cruces for a year. She moved to Tucson in 1981, but part of her heart always remained in New Mexico. She worked for American Airlines for the past 22 years and will be greatly missed by her many friends there.
Debbie will be forever remembered and missed for her strength and kindness, for her love of her family, and for her dedication to living a life of integrity. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date in Tucson.
Donations may be made in her name to her favorite charity, www.bensbells.org.

It was always nice to go to work at American and see her smiling face!. She was always cheerful, funny,warm and full of glitters!. Deb always spoke nothing but great things about her family and esp her wonderful children. I will always remember Deb!. She was an inspiration, a fighter, and a hero to many she had touched on or off work. We love and miss you!!!

We lost a great friend and comrade. Such a fun, positive, bright, kind person Debbie was. She had a special strength about her, yet never complained. She truly loved her family, as they were the most important thing in her life and she always exuded that to be a constant. I will miss her laugh, the confetti and the glitter. Will forever remember the kindness she gave and taught. You will not be forgotten my dear friend. You surely are an angel in heaven with the most glitter and watching over all that knew and loved you.
