Debra Barrera, better known as Debbie, went to her forever heavenly home May 4, 2024.  She was born September 9, 1956, in Texas City, TX to Andy and Myrtle Shefts.

Debbie was a woman of many talents. She enjoyed reading, cooking, and she loved sewing whether it was for family, friends, or people of the church.   She was always singing at home or at church.

She loved playing with her cat and texting memes. She was a blessing to her church where she kept everything running. She had such a servant's heart. She was always willing to help in any way. We will miss her infectious laugh, joyful spirit, spanish rice, and banana bread!
