Publish in a newspaper

Deborah "Debbie" Lynn Dunnegan, 61, of Williamsville, MO, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2025. She was born in St. Louis, MO, December 19, 1963, to parents Dennis and Juliaetta (Eaton) Dunnegan.

Debbie was a loved daughter, mother, sister, aunt, and friend whose kind heart and radiant smile touched the lives of many. She had a deep love for the outdoors and found joy in swimming, and spending time surrounded by nature. Her beautifully kept lawn and flourishing house plants were a testament to her green thumb. Debbie shared a close bond with her late mother, Juliaetta, and now joins her in eternal rest.

Debbie is survived by her loving father; daughter: Nichole Bratton and husband Wes of Williamsville; grandchildren: James Bratton, Ivannah Armes and husband Ryley; brothers: Roy Dunnegan and wife Melissa of Greenville, Paul Dunnegan of Ellsinore; sisters: Roxane Reeser and husband Bill of Poplar Bluff, Jodi Dunnegan and companion Butch Dillinger of Doniphan; many nieces, nephews, and a host of dear friends.

Debbie's big heart, nurturing spirit, and joyful laughter will be remembered and treasured by all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

A graveside service will be held at 10:00 am, Thursday, August 21, 2025, at Cool Springs Cemetery, Williamsville, MO. Online condolences can be made at www.rueggfuneralhomes.com
