Obituary of Debra Lee Beth Odell

Debra Odell, 61, of Paradise, CA, passed away July 28, 2021, in a tragic accident. 

She was born to Murray Leeds and the late Joan Schubach, Oct. 1, 1959, in Long Beach, New York.  

Debra is survived by her five children: Joseph Guiffra, Jessica Maice, Jordan Maice, Markham Odell, and Meaghan Odell; her grandchildren Gianna Guiffra, Bianca Guiffra, Jaxton Guiffra, Alayna Haver and Maddox Odell; and her loving, faithful sidekick Cleo. She also has many friends that she considered and treated as family. 

Debra was immensely proud of her children and all of their accomplishments, and leaves behind beautiful memories. The simplest pleasures brought great joy to Debra. She enjoyed a quiet evening painting with Cleo and a drink in her hand. On the weekends she loved going to the river or camping with her kids and grandkids. Her uncanny personality was contagious to everyone she met. She was a loving daughter, mother, and grandmother. 

Please join us in celebrating her life Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 11 a.m. at the Calvary Chapel of Paradise. The service will be followed by a potluck, so the family would appreciate if everyone brought their favorite dish.
