DEBRA LYNNE SILVA

Debra Lynne Silva, 56, of Santa Maria went to be with our Lord on Tuesday January 19, 2010. She went willingly and peacefully in the presence of her family and friends. She was born as Debra Lynne Martin in San Luis Obispo, CA and lived most of her life here on the Central Coast. She had a great life and was loved and respected greatly by everyone who knew her. She was somehow able to bring into reality everything that she or those who were close to her ever wanted or needed. She also had a certain wisdom to her pertaining to all things, and she loved to share this knowledge with anyone and everyone who was in need of some truth. People could always count on her to be there for them. Her door was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay, her heart was open to those who needed someone to care, her advice was given to those who did not know what to do and her generosity was given to those in need. We will all miss her as she was one of a kind and impossible to replace.
She is survived by her husband and best friend Stanley Silva, son Steven Soto, daughters Michelle Soto, Stephanie Silva and Dannielle Silva, brothers Richard Martin and Kenneth Martin, sisters Pat Fisher and Tammy Pineau, grandchildren Nicole, Chantel, Bryan and Daniel, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and lifelong friends. She is preceded in death by her mother Agnes, mother in law Billy Jean, brother Butch Martin, sisters, Ella Mae Burr and Carol Style.
Please join us in a celebration of life Memorial Services on January 31, 2010 @ 1:00pm, at Strother Community Park, 1150 Huasna Road, Arroyo Grande, CA.

At the celebration of life for Aunt Debbie, Dannielle asked me to take some of Aunt Debbie’s ashes to a casino and play a slot machine. I asked Dannielle what type of slot machine would Aunt Debbie like, Dannielle told me she liked loud machines. This morning I went to the casino with her ashes and walked around for awhile before selecting a machine. I found a red white and blue wheel of fortune machine and decided to sit down to play. Being the big gambler I am (ha-ha) I put in the remaining cash from my trip returning from her celebration of life( $7) after I had put in each dollar bill the machine made a loud noise this just made me smile remembering Dannielle said Aunt Debbie liked loud machines. After playing for a few minutes a man working for the casino walked over to me and commented on how loud the machine was, this made me smile even bigger. A man that worked at the casino thought this machine was loud that was awesome and made me feel Aunt Debbie would of got a kick out of it and I could picture her laughing. I told him I thought the noise was perfect, he said he could turn the volume down, I told him no and that him wanting to turn it down made the fact that I was playing it even better. I have never heard of anyone in a casino wanting to turn down the volume on a game so I told him my Aunt had just passed and her daughter asked me to take some of her ashes to a casino and play a loud machine. I was able to play for awhile and I enjoyed the obnoxious machine the whole time. A few of my many memories of Aunt Debbie are of her playing cards with Stanley, Audrey and Kenny, going camping with her, getting spank by her for running away with Dannielle, her independent strong nature and her love of animals but I have never gambled with her until today. I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did.

Well, This is her daughter Dannielle and I wrote the obituary. I think I have said alot about her but definately not enough. My mother meant more to me than words can say!

I want to thank everyone who came to her celebration at the park. I was amazed at how many of her closest freinds and family came. It was great.
