Obituary
Debbie (Deborah) M. Barcelles of
Eureka, CA passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at the Crescent City Skilled Nursing
at 6:15pm with her husband at her side.
Growing up on a dairy in Elk Grove with
her parents and two brothers, she moved to Eureka in her 20's where she worked
for Redwood Coast Regional Center for over 40 years, as a member of support
staff. Debbie liked doing her daily walk on G Street, watching silent movies,
rescuing feral cats and identifying birds. She was an avid collector of
memorabilia and loved decorating her little home on Trails End Road. Always
active in self-improvement, she also liked dressing up for Halloween almost
every year and going on short trips to southern Oregon or the Bay Area. Her
favorite day of the year was Valentine's Day, and she collected ornamental
hearts and Victorian Valentine's cards.
She is preceded in death by her parents,
Frank and Evelyn Barcelles. She is survived by her older brothers, Robert of
Roseville, CA and Frank of Missouri and their wives; her husband Franklin
Stover of Eureka; several aunts and uncles in Arcata; and Kathy and Bruce
Standifer, close personal friends in Geyserville, CA.
