DEBBIE L. WILLIAMS RENTERIA, a beloved mother,
grandmother, sister, and friend, who left this world
on Feb. 2, 2025, at the age of 68, with burial in
Evergreen Cemetery at Ranger, TX.
Born on July 5, 1956 in Stanton, TX to Kenneth Lee
(RHS-1950) & Mary Katherine (Robertson) Williams. She
attended Ranger High School in the Class of 1974 at
Ranger, TX. 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, & 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 (RHS-1996) & 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 & Mary Katherine
Williams, her husband, Jesse Renteria (RHS-1965); brother,
Joe Williams (RHS-1979) and stepson, Jason Renteria.
Debbie will be deeply missed, yet her spirit will live on in
the stories, laughter, and love she imparted to all.
