Debbie L. (Williams) Renteria

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Debbie L. (Williams) Renteria, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who left this world on February 2, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on July 5, 1956, in Stanton, TX, to Kenneth Lee and Mary Katherine (Robertson) Williams, Debbie's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with kindness, humor, and unwavering love.

Debbie was an extraordinary woman who radiated warmth and joy. Known for her infectious smile, she faced life's challenges with a remarkable strength and an optimistic spirit. She was a dedicated secretary in the business world, but her true accomplishments were found in her role as a nurturing mother to her son, Cody Fox, and her daughter, Toni Fox Young, as well as a doting grandmother to her cherished grandchildren, Elle Fox, Kamryn Fox, and Grace Young.

A lover of life's simple pleasures, Debbie found joy in spending time with her loyal companion, her dog Precious, and relished in the calming moments spent enjoying a margarita. Her love for reading, her sweet tooth for banana pudding and chocolate ice cream, and her special fruit salad at gatherings made every moment spent with her cherished memory. Debbie was not only a loving mother and grandmother but also a friend and second mom to many, her home always open, welcoming, and filled with laughter.

Debbie leaves behind her son, Cody Fox and wife, Keri of Copperas Cove; daughter, Toni Fox Young of Decatur and Matthew Young of Springtown; step-daughter, Maggie Lowery and husband, Jesse of McKinney; grandchildren, Elle Fox, Kamryn Fox and Grace Young; loving sister, Kay Williams Ford and husband, Bill of Odessa, and her brothers, Ken Williams and wife, Pebble of North Carolina and Bobby Williams and wife, Monica of Decatur and a legacy of joy, compassion, and generosity that touched all who knew her. She was a truly selfless individual, always looking out for others before herself, with a heart big enough to welcome everyone.

Preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Mary Katherine Williams, her husband, Jesse Renteria; brother, Joe Williams and stepson, Jason Renteria.
