Debra Ann King, 60, of New Braunfels, Texas, passed away on September 15, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on October 11, 1964, in San Angelo, Texas, to the late Sarah and Eloy Rodriguez, Debra lived a life marked by strength, resilience, and devotion to her family.

She was married to her husband, Steve King, for over 30 years. Together they enjoyed traveling to national parks across the country and spending memorable years overseas in London during Steve's Navy service, before eventually settling in New Braunfels to be closer to family. Debra built a successful career as a credit manager for Lynwood Building Materials in San Antonio, where she was respected for her professionalism and dedication.

She is survived by her husband Steve, her son Ryan, and her grandsons Blake and Christian, along with Ryan's partner Katie. She also leaves behind her brother Eloy Rodriguez Jr. and his wife Sue, her sister Diana Spiller and her husband Bill, and her beloved dogs Stanley, Abby, and Zoey. She is also survived by loving cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sarah and Eloy Rodriguez, and her aunt Esther Barahona.

Debra will be remembered for her courage, loyalty, and love. Her strength and devotion to those she cared for will continue to inspire all who knew her. The family wishes to thank Heart to Heart Hospice of San Marcos for their compassionate care during her final days.

Services will be held at Pennington Funeral Home. Visitation will be on Tuesday, September 23rd at 9:00 a.m., followed by a chapel service at 10:00 a.m. Burial will take place at San Marcos City Cemetery.
