Debbie will remain in our hearts forever.
So many memories! We worked together for many years with Missouri WMU and we got lost often when travelling! She was a great leader and taught me much. She had a missions heart and a love for the Lord. She will be missed!
Debbie was a beautiful lady. Always upbeat and willing to help anyone. Prayers for Wood and her family.
Debbie was my friend since 1959, We met when our families both moved to Midwest City, OK. We went to school together from the 4th grade until we graduated from Midwest City High School. We kept in touch and celebrated every birthday. I loved Debbie and will miss her so much.
With love and hugs, I will miss my lifelong friend. Wood, you, LeeAnn and Olin are in my prayers.
Debbie was a treasured friend. My comfort is found in knowing that Debbie is in the present of her Lord and Savior. I imagine she was greeted with “Well done Debbie”. And then I hear her say, “Wood, son, Lee Ann and friends don’t let your grieve consume you; “it is well with me”.
Deborah was a very special cousin to our family. She will be GREATLY missed. Love you, Ella, Ryan, Cody, and Lauren Keeton
Debbie was such a good friend as well as a terrific coworker in WMU. I remember sitting with them at the hospital the night Olin was born and the next morning when they were ready to take him home. We shared so much together. Happy and sad times. She was one of the best Christians I have known. I will miss her.

My mind floods with memories of Debbie’s sweet, gracious life. Her deep love for God kept her faithfully, creatively showing love to everyone in His world. She blessed and gave and befriended with beauty and tenderness. Wood, we pray for you with love. May the God of all comfort hold you close. Dawn Phillips
