Debra L. Bartram was born on July 23, 1952 in San Antonio, TX. She spent her younger years growing up in Lexington, Kentucky. She attended Lafayette High School and graduated in 1970. She met the love of her life, James Bartram, while working for Morgan Spear Associates in Corpus Christi, TX. They were wed September 29, 1973. They celebrated 52 years of marriage this year, a milestone not achieved by many. She passed on December 22, 2025 with her loving husband James at her side in her final moments.

She was preceded in death by her mother Katherena Lennen and her father James Wylie Lennen. She is survived by her husband James Bartram, her son Brian Bartram, her stepson Jimmy Bartram, and her grandchildren Bella, Zane, and Jason Bartram. James taught her how to drive farm tractors, something that she enjoyed doing after learning from a good teacher. Debra loved the Lord, sharing good conversations with family, spending weekends in the hill country, cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean, and a plate of fresh fish, usually caught and prepared by her son. Debra was deeply loved by her family, and will be missed and cherished forever.

A graveside service will be held at Rosehill cemetery in Corpus Christi, TX on Monday December 29, 2025 at 1130am.
