Debbie Arrowood Obituary
Deborah Dellinger Arrowood, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, left this earth on October 25, 2024, to spend eternity with Jesus. Deborah lived a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and selflessness, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.
Born to the late Muriel and James Dellinger, Deborah is preceded in death by her son, James Willis, and grandson, Adam Brittain. She is survived by her loving husband, Willie Arrowood, her daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Alan Buckner, and her stepdaughter and son-in-law, Kathryn and Doyle Brittain.
Her legacy continues through her grandchildren: Brooklyn and Jeremiah Fowler, Sheila Buckner, Taylor Buckner, Briella Buckner, Faith Brittain, DJ Brittain, and Jason Brittain. She cherished her great-grandchildren, Oakley Starnes, Everleigh Presley, Gracie, Tony, and Olivia Brittain.
Deborah is also survived by her siblings: Becky Crouse, Brenda Fernandez, Carol Roberts, Cathy Travis, Sheila Reynolds, and Pete Dellinger, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.
To honor Deborah’s incredible journey and the love she shared, a memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday, November 2, 2024 at Crouse Baptist Church with Pastor Bob Hill officiating. We invite all who knew her to join us in celebrating the life of a truly remarkable woman.
Her family will receive friends from 1:00 to 1:45 PM prior to the service at the church.
