A young loving spirit, with a beautiful smile and an open heart, Debora Palmer, 32, a Puerto Rico native, joined the military at the age of 20 and served in different assignments throughout the United States . She married Dr. Andy Hand and gave birth to their first son, Andy Jr. (A. J.) She, later on, remarried to Robert Villarreal and gave birth to her daughter Gabriella Alejandra. She traveled often to her native Puerto Rico to visit her relatives and friends where she was received with open arms. She had many passions, being THE best mom at the top of her list, followed by home decoration and reading.
She unexpectedly passed away on January 4th, 2006 due to reasons yet to be determined. She is survived by her two children, her mother Virginia Torres-Vazquez, her step-father Rolando Echemendia and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, co-workers and friends who will miss her dearly.
Memorial Services were held at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, January 13th, 2006, at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Memorial Services in Puerto Rico are yet to be determined. For information contact Javier and/or Elsie Torres in San Antonio, Texas at 210-679-8850.
