Honoring the Life and Love of Deborah Francine Bartlett
Dear Family and Friends,
We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved Deborah Francine Bartlett, who returned home to her Heavenly Father on May 21, 2025. Debbie was born on August 28, 1953, in Santa Monica, California, and lived a life full of love, service, and faith.
She married Bruce Bartlett on November 20, 2001, and was a devoted wife, mother, and stepmother. She lovingly raised her children-Hansen, Tamera, Kelli, Hunter, and Kim-and was a caring stepmother to Bruce's children-Bruce Jr., Melissa, Laura, Chrystal, Lance, and Juliet. She is also survived by 6 Grandchildren and 16 Step Grandchildren and 5 Step Great Grandchildren.
Debbie's legacy of service includes many years at the Mesa and Gilbert Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was also an integral part of the Mesa Easter Pageant, where she served as a cast member, makeup artist, and costume director, using her artistic talents to create props to enhance the portrayal of the life of Jesus Christ.
A celebration of her life will be held:
Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
Location: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; 1520 South Catalina Street Gilbert, AZ
