Deborah Lindsay Dillahunty was born in Boulder Colorado to Gene Mildred Klein and Floyd Engen. She had 5 siblings, Allen Engen, Susan Jones, Ann Shoemake, Jodi Gilson, and John Engen. She later had 3 children Connie Paul, Gary Reinier, and Lyle Reinier. She grew up in Colorado before moving to Wyoming where she worked at Wyoming State Penitentiary.
Debbie passed nursing school with flying colors and worked in skilled nursing for many years. In 1997, Debbie settled into her home in Nowata, Oklahoma. Debbie had an undeniable love for animals, there wasn't an animal she wouldn't take in. She could grow any plant with ease and shared them with everyone. Debbie enjoyed the simple things in life like quilting, making sure her bird feeders were full, and watching them for hours. She enjoyed relaxing in her chair coloring and loving her "two boys" Tyler and Shilo. More than anything, she enjoyed having company. She received many visits from friends, neighbors, and home health providers, and no matter what she was going through, she always checked in on them. She had a giving heart that was full of love and kindness. Her genuine spirit will be greatly missed.
She is preceded in death by her parents and son Lyle Reinier.
