Debra Torres Obituary

Torres, Debra A. (Nee Taylor) Found peace July 7, 2017. Loving mother of Travis (Chelle). Daughter of the late James and Barbara. Best friend and soulmate of Mark Vicena. Sister of Tom (Christine), Dave (Melanie), and Jim (Jill), and the late Rick and Steve. Further survived by many other friends and relatives. The One Happy Island of Aruba was Debbie's favorite place in the world to be. She had many friends on the island, especially Hubert DeWindt and family who was a second family to Debbie. Debbie had worked in the hospitality industry all of her career. She enjoyed working with people planning their weddings or events, for the past 18 years working at Irene's Catering. She always put others before herself. She had a big heart, never held grudges and enjoyed life. She will be deeply missed, but touched the hearts of many people she met from all over the world. Debbie was a dedicated Green Bay Packer fan...Go Pack Go! who never missed watching a game. You're the light of our lives mom, Debbie and we'll always love you forever. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
