Debora (Tillman) Rocha, 58, passed away on October 23, 2020 at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. She was the wife of Daniel Rocha. They shared 10 wonderful years together. Debbie was born in St. Louis, Missouri on December 11, 1961 to Carolyn and Clifford Tillman. She attended school in Belle, Missouri and graduated from Lynn Technical College. She worked as a homemaker and farmer, and spent several years in Health Administration. She was a member of St. Albans Episcopal Church in Bolivar, Missouri. She loved her children, all babies, and her many friends. She will be remembered for her kind eyes, her generous spirit, and a smile as big as all Montana. Debbie is preceded in death by her father, Clifford Tillman, her step-father Don Owens, and a brother Arvil Owens. She is survived by her mother, Carolyn (Sisco) Owens, her husband Daniel Rocha; daughters Jen Sparks, Dayna Mitchem, and Aimee Mitchem; a brother Donnie Owens, and sisters Lavonda Lawson and Resa Branson; and her beloved grandchildren and nieces and nephews. We shall all miss her eccentric ways, her crazy antics, and her positive outlook on life. Services for Debora Rocha will be on held on Sunday, November 1 at Saint Albans Episcopal Church, 201 S Killingsworth Ave, Bolivar MO. A 1-hour informal visitation for family & friends will take place from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by an interment service at 3:30 for the family. The 1st event will feature music Debbie loved, photos & other things to celebrate her life and eclectic tastes, exchange of good stories, and lighting of candles. This visitation will allow us to safely social distance while having some fun. Face masks will be required. The 3:30 service, for the family, will be the commitment of our Debora into the care of the One Who gave life to her, and to us all. In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts to help defray the costs of her final arrangements.
