Debra Yvonne Cody, 69, of Pearland, Texas, passed away on April 7th, 2026. Born in Laredo, Texas, on August 3rd, 1956, to John W. Overholser and Marietta Buitron, Debbie moved to Pearland in 2012 and was a devoted member of Grace Family Church.

Debbie loved taking road trips with her husband Bill to the beach, the hill country, or the mountains—anywhere they could get away together.

Some of Debbie’s most fruitful and fulfilling years were spent in healthcare administration, serving in the role of Senior Administrative Assistant. She was much beloved by the faculty whom she cared for in ways that stretched far beyond ordinary business responsibilities.

Debra is preceded in death by her husband of forty-two years, William “Bill” Douglas Cody, and her parents, John W. Overholser and Marietta Buitron.

There will be a visitation, 1:00 P.M. on Friday, April 17th, 2026, at Crowder Funeral Home, 2422 E. Broadway St, Pearland, Texas 77581, with a funeral service to follow at 2:00 P.M. There will be a private burial at South Park Cemetery.
