Debbie was born in Vallejo, CA where she spent her early years before moving to San Francisco with her family.

One of her favorite adventures was a year spent living in Spain as she studied abroad her junior year in college. Upon her return, she became a profession­al travel agent with the goal of helping others pursue their own adventures.

Debbie was very spiritual and always found peace in nature, spending much of her spare time taking long walks in Crissy Field and along the Marina Greens in San Francisco. She also loved spending quality time with family, friends and loved ones.

Her love for music and the performing arts was unparallel­ed and spent years mastering the crafts of singing and songwritin­g. Debbie wrote and performed several of her own original songs debut when she did her own “One Person “shows. She would share all these gifts with the world by donating her voice and songs with those at Bread and Roses and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and even did impersonat­ions of Liza Minnelli and others. Along with her artistic talent, she will be most remembered for her contagious laughter, positivity, and the way she lit up every room she stepped foot in.

Blessed with a large and loving family and friends with whom she was surrounded in her final days. She was predecease­d by her father, Antonio, and is survived by her mother, sister, two brothers, three nephews, two nieces, several grand nieces and nephews and numerous cousins.

Debbie had a gift of touching the soul of every person she met, connecting with others on a profound level and sharing inspiratio­n for life wherever she went. She lived life with a smile on her face and was always willing to share her boundless love with others. No matter what challenges life presented, Debbie confronted them head on with a positive attitude and unmatched grace.
