It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Deborah Lynn (True) Bríant. Debbie left this world for Heaven on Thursday, October 4, 2012, in her home in Turlock, CA, surrounded by her loving family.

Debbie was born on August 24, 1970 in Napa, California to Rodger and Anna True. She was raised in St. Helena and attended St. Helena Catholic School and St. Helena High School, where she graduated in
1988. Debbie was the Finance Department Business Office Manager for Kaplan Colleges in Modesto for 12 years. Prior to that, she worked in various positions, including as a Staff Assistant for the United

death by her husband, David, and her grandparents, Alfredo and Giulia Santi, and George True.

Debbie enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, advancing her career and decorating her home. She was a loving and supportive mother and particularly enjoyed watching her son play football.

Debbie will be remembered for her beautiful eyes, her contagious laughter and quick wit, and her ability to make everyone around her smile. She was deeply loved and is dearly missed.

Debbie is the loving mother of, Jeremiah Bríant; the beloved daughter of Rodger and Anna True; the beloved granddaughter of Elnora Allison, the cherished sister of RoseAnn (Matt) Trzesniewski; and Steven (Claire) True; the dear step-mother of Anthony, Deshawn and Michael Bríant; and treasured auntie of Brandon True and Gianna and Alivia Trzesniewski.
