Obituary
De Vore, Debra Ann, born February 25th 1955, passed away Sunday, July 24th after a ten-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Debbie, wife, mother and homemaker, who also worked at the Saddleback Unified School District before retiring in 2005, was known for her devotion to family, quick sense of humor and inner strength. Debbie took great interest in people, history, and cherished reading biographies. She loved to read the entire paper with her morning coffee and take summer trips with her husband to Cambria and San Francisco.
She is survived by her husband Karl of sixteen years; her children James, Scott and Robin from her first marriage; brother Kirk; and parents Mary and Gary. Debbie’s passing was not only a tremendous loss for her family, but also for all those who knew her well.

I already miss Debbie so much. So ironic we hardly knew each other in high school and we became the best of friends. I thought I knew so much about her, talking constantly, her great wit and humor and intelligence. Our lunch and little excursions all around this beautiful area. And I knew of her wonderful love for her husband Karl and her children. But one thing I didn’t know was her inner strength which I will always remember. I will miss the phone ringing, hey Jamie call me back if you want to and I did. She was a great friend and now I know stronger than I ever imagined! My heart goes out to Karl and her children. I love you all, Jamie

I know your a strong man Carl and you will heal in time. Debbie was a nice good hearted woman and would want to ease your pain. She is in a good place now pain free. I know she really enjoyed the times that we would meet for dinner with Jamie. I really enjoyed it also. Maybe in the future you, Jamie & I could go out and celebrate Debbies life. God bless Carl.

Debbie and I met 31 years ago at the Whittier Mother’s of Twins Club. We hit it off immediately and became best friends.
We did everything together and a lot of it included schlepping our twins along with us.
I will enjoy watching the many movies we took and looking at the pictures of those good old days!
Debbie fought a long, courageous battle with her cancer. I would often tell my husband that I didn’t think I would have such strength and a positive attitude if it were me in her place…truly a remarkable woman. She is to be commended for her strength and fortitude and thankfully she now suffers no more.
May God keep Karl, Robin, James and Scott in his arms and give them the peace and comfort they so well deserve…God bless you all.
Love, Lindy

I remember Debbie from living across the street from her in La Mirada. Such a sweet girl! I am so sorry for your loss!
