Deborah was the oldest of 6 children. She graduated from West Covina High School in 1970 where she dabbled a bit playing tennis. She had a joy of watching Nascar racing and enjoyed going to NHRA Drag racing with her husband and grandson Jonathan. Her eyes would light up with the many hugs from her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and is survived by her husband Gerald Rhodes, her 3 daughters Tina and husband Raymond, JoAnn, and Jennifer and fiancé Jose, her nine grandkids Anthony and wife Lilly, Jonathan, Nicholas, Joshua, Brianna, Layla, Ian, Samantha and Michael, 2 great grandkids Layla and Luna and previously deceased grandson Matthew.
Deborah and Gerald were married for 41 wonderful years and enjoyed their day to day life whether it be bowling, taking the kids camping, road trips with the kids, visiting her children or out fidgeting with her bird cage.
Deborah always had many conversations with her daughters and her cup of coffee to find out what they were up to and make sure they were okay with their busy life's and to talk about what made them happy and how she was happy for them.
Deborah truly cared deeply about her husband and family. Even though she is gone, she has left the legacy of her love and perseverance. The way she touched the lives around her will remain and her family asks you to keep those memories alive by sharing them with one another.
