Debbie Yturaldi-Mitchell passed away late in the evening of June 19th, 2015, after nearly a year long battle with cancer.  Debbie is survived by her daughter, Toini Hiipakka, 33, and her son Lester Mitchell, 24.  She is also survived by her parents, Michael and Virginia Yturaldi of Madera, CA, two brothers, Michael and Edward Yturaldi; and two sisters, Elaine and Irene Yturaldi.  Debbie was a strong and beautiful woman who was a lifelong spiritual seeker and believer. She was a passionate music lover, supporter of all the arts and loved to spend time in nature, especially the mountains surrounding the Central Valley.  She was genuine, had a great sense of humor, and was very loyal to those she loved.  She was 57 years old.

The Yturaldi family would like to thank all those who assisted, cared for, and loved Debbie in her final days, especially all of those in hospice, her doctors, nurses, dear friends, and the compassionate friends she found in Christ.

May you be at eternal peace and rest in eternal love, surrounded by all those who love you now and always.
