Deborah graduated from La Grange High School in 1972.

Dee worked in the semi-conductor field for over 20 years at Samsung and AMD. Dee and Ruben loved to play golf together and she played in many tournaments with her friends and family. They also volunteered as a “Big Brother” in Austin.
Deborah (Dee) loved her children, Yvette Mendoza and Ruben (Guy) Mendoza Jr. and her many doggie children including Chuvette, Dancer, Tessa and Maggie. She also loved her grandchildren Quashawn and Angel and her doggie grandchildren, Chloe, Dia and Prim.
Her grandchildren loved hanging out with their grandma. They loved when she would pick them up after school and take them shopping and then they would go to her house and eat nachos and watch movies together. Her grandchildren gave her the honorary title of “World’s Best Cook”.
