Deborah Ann Wingate

Deborah Ann Wingate, affectionately known as "Debbie" or "Deb",

was born on January 6, 1962 in Fairfield, CA and passed away

on June 19, 2017 in Colton, CA. Debbie was preceded in death

by the love of her life, Rob Wingate, in 2010. They were married

in 1987 and resided in Hesperia, CA since 1989 where they raised

their two children, Jacob and Stephanie Wingate. Deb was a

loving wife, caring sister, wonderful daughter, loyal friend and above

all a proud, dedicated and loving mother to her children who she

considered her greatest blessings.

Debbie grew up in El Monte and Walnut, CA and was a 1980

graduate of Walnut High School. She went on to work for many

years at General Dynamics-Pomona, which is where she met Rob.

In later years she worked at the Housing Authority of the County of

San Bernardino and then she became a real estate agent working

with Keller Williams Realty in Hesperia. Deb had an impeccable

work ethic and was always a pleasure to work with.

Growing up Debbie played sports such as tennis and soccer but

her real passion was softball. That love for the game carried over

to her adult years when her daughter Stephanie played the sport

herself. If Deb was not at the softball field watching Stephanie play

you could find her at the track watching her son Jake ride and

race motocross. She was always their biggest cheerleader and

supporter in everything they did. Being a mom was her proudest

accomplishment and she was an amazing one.

For the last three years of her life Debbie battled cancer like a

warrior. She never gave up, never complained and always

continued pushing forward for her kids. Although she was a

widow she still did what it took to be there for her children even

thought she was dealing with her own difficult battle. Sadly we

ended up losing Deb to this vicious disease but we know she is

now pain free in the loving arms of Jesus and reunited once again

with her beloved soulmate, Rob. She will be deeply missed but her

memory will live on in all of those who knew and loved her.

In addition to her two children Debbie is survived by her mother,

Beverly Coley, brothers, Dean and Richard Coley, and sister, Pam

Coley. She also has numerous in-laws, nephews, nieces, aunts and

uncles that loved and adored her. Her dearest friends were like

family too so this is a great loss for many people who had the

pleasure of knowing her.

The memorial service will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Monday,

July 10, 2017 at Sunset Hills Memorial Park & Cemetery in

Apple Valley, CA. A celebration reception to follow after the

service on the premises.
