Deborah Celeste

Mincey

Deborah "Debbie" Celeste (Cole) Mincey, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed peacefully on November 9th, 2026, in Corpus Christi, Texas, surrounded by her loving family.

 Born to Edna and Calvin Cole Sr. on November 8th, 1951, in Corpus Christi, Texas, Debbie was known for her kindness, generosity, and selflessness, often putting others before herself. Debbie loved her children and made sure they knew she was proud of them, even calling her grandchildren her "Pride and Joys." Debbie’s love for her children and grandchildren was so vast that she paused her professional career to start an in-home daycare for several years, allowing her to be with them week after week and watch them grow. From bowling to poker to riding motorcycles and saving cats, Debbie’s life was a legacy of seeking new experiences with her friends, sharing joy and consideration with those she loved and the animals (cats) she cherished.

 Debbie is survived by her brother, Calvin Cole Jr.; her four children, Shelley Munoz (Joel), Franklin Mross, Michael Mincey (Angela), and John Mincey (Kimberlee); her daughter-in-law, Jennifer Mross, her four granddaughters, Heather Munoz, Emily Munoz, Emma Alassal (Kaden), and Annabelle Mincey; and her two grandsons, Mason Mross (Heather) and Kevin Munoz.

 Debbie’s children and grandchildren will serve as pallbearers: Michael Mincey, John Mincey, Mason Mross, Kevin Munoz, Heather Munoz, and Emma Alassal.

 Visitation will be held Sunday, November 15th at 10:00 AM at Charlie Marshall Funeral Home in Aransas Pass, followed by services and a celebration of life from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, then a funeral procession to Rockport Cemetery.
