Debra Ann Casillas

January 22, 1960 - January 8, 2015

On January 22, 1960, Debra Ann Casillas was born in San Bernardino, CA to Julia Estrada and Arturo Casillas. Debbie was a loveable and outgoing child who loved to learn all the Mexican traditions her Grandmother offered. Debbie would watch and help her Grandma in the kitchen taking in all her cooking secrets.

Debbie gave birth to seven beautiful Children with her Husband Jose Orellana who preceded her in death.

Debbie was known for preparing unbelievable meals for anyone who entered her home. She greeted everyone with love, respect and treated them as her own children. Most people in the neighborhood knew her as "Mamma Debbie". You never had to ask if you were welcome, she had an open door policy.

Debbie was very proud of her seven Children as they each are a reflection of her. Debbie will be remembered as a strong willed individual who was able to overcome life's challenges, who had amazing culinary skills, an infectious laugh, a beautiful smile, overwhelming kindness, abundant generosity, courage of a warrior, beauty inside and out, thoughtfulness and always a jokester.

Debbie was 54 years old at the time of her death on January 8, 2015. She is survived by her Father, six Siblings, seven Children, twelve Grandchildren and one Great Grandchild who will all miss her dearly.
