Debbie was a lifelong resident of Roswell coming from Arizona. She was extremely active in her children and grandchildrens activities. Debbie was very active in the St. Johns parish and the International Petroleum Association while at Ritter and Company. Her passion in life was taking care of children, not only her own but all other children that passed through her life. Debbie loved the mountains, especially Bonita Lake. She was a dedicated employee for 18 years at Glenns Furniture and 13 years at Ritter Company and then she dedicated her time for her babies at Nannies Daycare. No matter who passed through her life they all became family. She is leaving us with the ultimate legacy of how life should be lived.
She fought so hard to survive the terrible C word since she found out about it on January 19th, 2013. She was a fighter because she has always been a fighter, but the good Lord said that it was time for her to go home and be with her mom, dad, and our beautiful angel Ravae.
We would like to thank the staff in the ICU at ENMMC, Dr. Chechani, Dr. Wenner, and Dr. Badine. We also want to give a big thank you to the staff and doctors in the MICU at University Medical Center in Lubbock, they did everything possible to keep her comfortable and help her survive the last 3 weeks. Also a big thank you to Leprino Foods employees for all of their support through this. We will also remember the support of our family, friends, and coworkers while Debbie was in the hospital.

Tearful Memories
My tears are falling
Each tear is a memory
It respresents our time together
Those memories will always be with us
We will never forget her
She was special to us
Her heart has survived
through so much pain and sorrow
That heart will live on forever
Her legacy will live on through us
We will never forget her laugh and smile
Just remember that distinct laugh
It was her time to go
Her life ended with peace
She was a great lady, loving wife,
mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
Lacy Silva Flores
