Debra Faye Westcarth

In loving memory of Debra Faye (Smith) Westcarth.

Debra Faye (Smith) Westcarth was born to the late James B. Smith, Jr. and Frances Marie Baker Smith on March 14, 1958 in Austin, Travis County, Texas. She entered into eternal rest on December 4, 2025 peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

Affectionately known as "Debbie," she was a beloved family member and friend whose presence brought laughter and warmth to many.

Debbie graduated from the new L.C. Anderson High School and attended post-secondary education at the Austin Community College and the University of Texas.

She accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior, and a single parent, and received salvation in 1981 at the age of 22, under the auspices of the RJA Evangelistic Assn., New Covenant Church. She was a faithful member for many years before moving on. She was first united in marriage to Darrell Guice and from that union one son was born. She later on remarried and united in holy matrimony to Osmond Lloyd Westcarth and to this union a son and daughter were born. They have been married over 36 years.

She was preceded in death by both parents.

Her career at the Travis Central Appraisal District earned her a well-deserved retirement in 2013 as her health began to fail.

To her family and friends, Debbie was a joy to be around. She was full of life and laughter and would make you laugh until your sides hurt. She was devoted to her family. She was a fashionista and a great cook. Family and friends loved gathering at her table or wherever they could fit to enjoy some delicious food and warm hospitality. Once, she prepared a newly created cake recipe for one of her many dinners that everyone was immediately crazy about. Thus, she dubbed it the 'wedding cake' which everyone looked forward to enjoying whenever she made it. Our dearest Debbie will be greatly and forever missed.

She leaves to cherish her beautiful memories her beloved husband, Osmond Westcarth; three sons, Sheldon Walker (Felicia), Jason Guice, Nathan Westcarth; one daughter, Debrianne Westcarth; one step-son, Osmond Westcarth, Jr.; one sister, Pamela Paredes (Richard); one brother, James B. Smith, III; several aunts, Annie Lee Baker, Shirley Shaw and Carolyn ('Kaye') Baker; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; one nephew; step-nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
