Deborah Cooper Gueci

Deborah "Debbie" Cooper Gueci, 65, of Titusville, Florida, passed away at her home on February 16, 2026.

Debbie was born on October 23, 1960, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Percy Edward Cooper and Janice Fay Franklin.

On November 21, 1981, she married Vincent Vito Gueci. During their time together, Debbie traveled throughout the United States as Vincent served at various duty stations. Vincent preceded her in death in 1985. Following his passing, Debbie relocated to Florida, where she remained for the rest of her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Janice Fay Franklin and Percy Edward Cooper, and by her brother, Gary Edward Cooper.

Debbie is survived by her daughter, Michelle Lynn (Cole) Gueci-Jenkins; her grandchildren, Ashlyn Denise Potter, Braedyn Vincent Potter, and Mason Richard Jenkins; her sister-in-law, Judy Cooper; her mother-in-law, Maria Martinez; and her beloved 18-year-old cat, Stella.

Debbie worked as a cashier at Winn Dixie. She was known for being delightfully opinionated and never hesitated to speak her mind. At the same time, she always made time to encourage her daughter, Michelle-conversations that consistently brought comfort and reassurance. Debbie enjoyed watching the Florida Gators and rarely missed an episode of her favorite show, General Hospital.
