Deborah Rose Pacheco

It is with the deepest of hearts that we embrace all of you to tell you Deborah (Debi) Rose Pacheco passed away on August 8th, 2025, she was surrounded by family, and if you know her, she did not go silently and fought her battle to be with us all until the very end. She will be always remembered as someone we could always count on as a Daughter, Sister, Auntie, Cousin, Family member and Friend.

Auntie Debi was genuinely one of a kind. From her voice and laughter that filled a room, to her smile and embrace that she greeted everyone with, regardless of, if she knew you for 60 years, or just met you 5 minutes ago. Her unwavering loyalty to her family and friends cannot be described with words. Her love, time spent and loss of her mother, father, two brothers, and sister, were who she consistently spoke and thought about. If you were lucky to be in her circle, you knew it and we will all cherish her until our time comes.

Debi was born in San Francisco in Mary’s Help Hospital. Spending her childhood in San Francisco she eventually graduated from Saint Paul’s Highschool and continued her education in accounting. Early in her 20’s she relocated to San Jose, CA and finally settled in Petaluma, CA for over 30 years. It was there she learned to play pool and built so many new and long-term relationships. You truly could not go anywhere in Sonoma County without Debi recognizing and speaking to someone. Her love for conversation and people was everything to her and all those around her. She spent time in Rohnert Park for a few years until recently, when she moved into her forever home in Citrus Heights. This was one of the proudest moments in her life and created one of her shortest and happiest chapters for her.

Debi is survived by her sonphews Zac and Oris Pacheco, and two nieces Stacey Pacheco, and Valerie Hanley. Her love included 4 nieces and nephews, 12 great nieces and nephews and 6 great-great nieces and nephews. The loss of Auntie Debi can never be comprehended for us all.

She is proceeded in death by her mother Rose Efalia Pacheco, father Oracio Porfirio Pacheco, two brothers Frank Zac and Gerald Kenneth Pacheco, sister Claudia Pacheco and niece Seryna Rose Pacheco.
