Debra Ellenor Littlejohn

Debra Ellenor (McKinney) Littlejohn was born on December 13, 1961 to Fred H. McKinney and Jo Ellen McKinney in Montrose, Colorado. Debbie spent her childhood in Redvale, Colorado. After graduating from Norwood High School, she went to work for her father at his company, Southwestern Redi-Mix, where she quickly became a very important part of the company’s success. Debbie married the love of her life, Bryan Littlejohn, June 27, 1987. Their family happily grew in September 1988 with the birth of their son, Dustin Ty Littlejohn. While Debbie played important roles in her career, marriage, extended family and community, the role of mother is where she thrived. For the next 18 years she dedicated her life to her family, raising her son and continuing to help her parents in their business ventures. In 2006 Bryan and Debbie started their own business, Southwestern Construction. Owning their own company gave Debbie the opportunity to work away from home and enjoy her favorite thing in life, her grandchildren. Debbie never missed an opportunity to help the community, or spend time loving her parents, husband, children and grandchildren. They were the absolute joy of her life. Debbie is preceded in death by her father Fred H. McKinney. She leaves behind her mother Jo Ellen McKinney, husband Bryan Littlejohn, son Dustin and daughter in law Sara Littlejohn, stepdaughter Rami and son in law Tommy Martin, grandchildren Mya, Leah, Jaren, Jaxen, Alane, Avenn, sister in law Brenda Littlejohn, nephew Bradly and niece Mandolyn. As well as many extended family members and friends who loved her dearly.

A celebration of life for Debbie will be held Saturday, July 22, 2023 at 1:00 PM at Naturita Elementary School Gym, 141 W Main St., Naturita, CO 81422.
