She was born on January 17, 1956 at Deaconess Hospital in Oklahoma City, to Ervin and Joann (Burkey) Holmes.
She attended Mark Twain Elementary School in Oklahoma City and was a 1975 graduate of Western Heights High School. She married Don Holmes, the love of her life, on December 28, 1974. Don and Debbie first met when they were 8 & 7 years old respectively.
Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved brother Bobby and her sister.
Debbie is survived by her husband Don; her daughter Dedra Holmes of Yukon, OK; her son Delon Holmes of Orlando, OK; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and many friends.
Debbie never met a stranger, she would talk to anyone to make them laugh! She enjoyed spending time with her family, gardening, fishing and watching wildlife on their 80 acres. She loved her grand-dogs Bella, Cowboy and Mattie. She also loved her two ducks, Ricky and Lucy, relishing their eggs in the mornings. She enjoyed cross-stitch, singing, drawing, watching movies, photography, baking and eating chocolate! Debbie was a self-proclaimed chocoholic especially Dove milk chocolates and the Sugar Free Turtles!
She will be dearly missed for her witty humor, orneriness, smile and laughter.
