1956 - 2019
Debora "Debbie" Gutierrez De La Rosa, age 62, entered into eternal rest on October 20, 2019 at Kaiser Hospital in Downey, California. Debbie was born on December 5, 1956 to Belia (Bermudez) and Frank Gutierrrez in Montebello, California. Debbie was a wonderful daughter and sister and demonstrated the firm foundation of faith unto which she was born. Debbie was a born leader and proved her skills and talents throughout all her life and was also a proud graduate of Garfield High School and Cal State Los Angeles.
Debbie's life truly filled the hearts of countless lives and will have an everlasting impact for generations to come. Debbie exuded the joy of the Lord and the infectious laughter of angels. Debbie proved her superior supervisory skills for the Los Angeles County Child Support Services for more than 18 years.
On June 16, 2007, Debbie married the love of her life, Gilbert De La Rosa and the union was blessed to include the blessing of extended relationships, where genuine love abounded unto her relationships with Gilbert's children: Gilbert De La Rosa Jr., Tracie Irene De La Rosa, her grandson Malachi De La Rosa and 8 other grandchildren.
Debbie was always a leader within her church life; always displaying a passion and joy while serving and living for Christ. From her many years La Puerta Abierta in East Los Angeles and finally at The Ark Montebello.
Debbie will be sorely missed by her loving husband: Gilbert De La Rosa, son: Gilbert De La Rosa Jr., daughter: Tracie Irene De La Rosa, Malachi De La Rosa and 8 other grandchildren, parents: Frank and Belia Gutierrez, brothers Frank Gutierrez Jr. and Samuel Gutierrez, nieces, nephews, cousins and a multitude of friends from all walks of her beautiful life.
Debbie Trusted in God and her legacy will live on in all the lives who knew and loved her dearly.
May Debora "Debbie" Rest In Peace. Amen

Debbie was true to her faith. She not only talked the talk, she walked the walk. Though never claiming to be perfect, she always aimed for goodness and love in everything she did. It was my pleasure to be her supervisor on a few occasions. She walked into everything with a smile and a positive attitude. She will be missed by all but leaves a strong legacy of love to be remember by.

So many memories filled with love, laughter, fellowship, worship, sometimes tears, always genuine friendship and sisterhood. Debbie you made a mark on my life that is immeasurable and eternal. There will b no one like you. Jesus broke the mold when He formed you. You ran the race and completed your divine purpose. I love you and am missing you something terrible but I am joyful in knowing you're home and will see you again singing hallelujah face to face with Our Lord. Until then...

Gil Im so sorry for your loss my condolences to you and all the family . Debbie is a beautiful woman . One of a kind . Because of Debbie I had some of the most amazing fun times at CCM. She encouraged me and she believed I could sing and made me believe it too. Only Debbie could have loved my voice . Because of her I was able to be in the choir for Easter and Christmas . She went out of her way to help me and she knew when I needed a friend and prayer , I didnt even have to say a word she just knew. She was so much fun. My sis and I were talking about the year we did the Perfume boutique play at the retreat , she had all us girls in our gowns in the back of her truck we were all bouncing around and screaming while she was cracking up. Now she is singing praises to Our Lord face to face and I know she makes Him smile. Gil i continue to pray for you and the whole family.
Till we meet again Debbie.♥

Debbie is a shinning memory of our days at CCM. She was always full of warmth, wisdom and joy.
Our hearts hurt for her family and friends as we know how much they will miss her but we rejoice that her race is over and that she is in splendor with her Savior. Well done good and faithful servant.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My precious sister, although I was able to spend time with you just in the last 5 years, you were such a blessing to me. Talking & cracking up on our lake road trips, fellowshipping, & eating by the pool side, the wisdom you shared, and your encouragement. It's a bitter sweet time; I know you're praising Jesus as you now see Him before you. Until we see each other again my sister, so we can praise Him face to face together. Love you! Lydia (aka Benevolence; the nickname you gave me)

My heart is in a mixture of emotions. Rejoicing in the absolute truth that Debbie is walking on streets of gold, continuously praising her Lord and Savior. No more pain Deb. Yet it hurts that you are gone. Thank you for trusting me to care for you. My Tuesday mornings were spent sitting with you watching your cooking shows, messaging your back, praying with you. You never complained, you'd smile and always wanted to know how I was doing. Until we meet again...........
My deepest condolences to Gil and all her family and friends who loved her so.

I will always remember Debbie as an intelligent, loving, encouraging, easy going, and spiritually strong sister in the Lord. She had a great sense of humor, always had a smile on her face and made one feel welcomed. When she sang during womens worship, you could see the Love for the Lord on her face. You will be missed Debbie❤ Thank you for your example.
