In Loving Memory of Debra "Debbie" Cortinas July 17, 1959 – August 30, 2025

Our beloved Debbie was called home to be with the Lord on August 30, 2025, at the age of 66. She was a loving wife to Mario and a cherished sister, aunt, Godmother, and friend.

Debbie is survived by her siblings: Jesse Chavez, Cindy Chavez, Janie Rodriguez(Sal), Jefferey Chavez(Angie), Melinda Rodriguez(Joe), and Vanessa Chavez; her nieces and nephews; as well as numerous extended family members and Godchildren.
Her love, kindness, and genuine care for others will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew and cherished her.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported her and our family during this difficult time. Your kindness, compassion, and prayers has meant the world to us.
