Deborah Lapray Obituary
Debbie Lapray was born on December 31, 1956 in Twin Falls Idaho, the daughter of Robert and Margaret Hollon. Debbie passed away on Saturday, June 1, 2024 in her home in Cortez, Colorado at the age of 67.
Debbie was a beautiful, fiery, adventurous, strong, and free spirited woman who went wherever the wind took her. She had the most infectious laugh and was the life of any party. She always encouraged having fun no matter what the circumstances were. She loved rocking out to her records while whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. Debbie absolutely loved cooking/baking; she was a phenomenal cook and would feed anyone who walked in the door. She also enjoyed photography, gardening, fishing and of course her regular crossword scratch tickets.
Debbie will be dearly missed.
A celebration of life will be held for Debbie and her late husband Neal in September in Idaho.
Surviving Debbie are her children: Brandy Burkhart, Michelle Tigue, Jennifer Morris, Angela Stoddard, Saleea Lapray (Alex Clayton), D’mitri Newell. Her Mother Margaret Hollon. Siblings: Robert Hollon (Jane), Charlene Tiffany, Diana Hollon, Randy Hollon grandchildren: Hailey Beach, Kayla West, Devin West, Ajay Herdandez, Alyson Morris, Caden Morris.
Preceding her in death: husband Neal Lapray, father Robert Hollen and sister Donna Hollon.
