Debbie Josephine Archuleta

Her smile is gone forever, and her hand I cannot touch. I still have many memories of the one I loved so much. Her memory is now my keepsake, with which I will never part. God has her in His keeping; I have her in my heart. She is sadly missed but never forgotten.
Debbie Josephine Archuleta, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother, left us to reunite with her parents, Chris and Helen Archuleta. Debbie was married to her first husband, Johnny Santistevan, for 17 years, during which they had five beautiful children. She was known for her beautiful smile and infectious laughter. She gave wholeheartedly and loved her family and friends. May our Heavenly Father bless her gift of love and surround her children with warmth and care.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Chris and Helen Archuleta, and her brothers, Chris Jr. Archuleta and Paul Archuleta. She is survived by her first husband, Johnny Santistevan; children Kristy Santistevan, Misty Santistevan, Amanda Gutierrez, Johnny Jr. Santistevan, and Felicia "Tugi" Schroeder; eleven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and her siblings Lori Mendoza, Pete Archuleta, Katie Archuleta, Charles Archuleta, Sadie Archuleta-Cabrel, Toby Archuleta, Christine DeHerrera, Audie Archuleta, and Jessie Archuleta.
