Debra Yvonne Cody
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.

What a wonderful person we have lost. She always had a big smile to greet everyone with. You didn’t have to guess how she thought and felt about everything. I will truly miss her and Bill. They were such a great example of two people that loved deeply for one another. I know she’s not gone but only has a new address and is with her Bill in heaven by God’s grace.
Debbie
Losing you is a big heartbreak for all of us. We were not prepared for it and will never be. The thought of not seeing you, hearing you and talking to you again is unimaginable. I want you to be in peace, but it’s hard not to think about you. I can still hear your laugh and see your beautiful smile in my head. It’s painful, not just for me, but for all the people that loved and cherished you. We love you Deb.
In the silence of sorrow, GOD is near. He gathers every tear, holds every broken hear, and whispers hope into our grief. “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalms 34:18
She was small in stature, but had a huge personality and a laugh that could be heard for miles. Rest in peace, dear Debbie. You will be missed.
