Debbie was born on March 15, 1954, in Smyrna, Tennessee. She lived in Belton and Blue Springs, before relocating to Joplin, MO, for the last 8 years of her life. She spent a number of years working at CASCO in Harrisonville.

Debbie touched many lives over the years with her infectious laughter. She knew no stranger and enjoyed sharing her stories to anyone who would listen. She loved the Chiefs, Elvis Presley, shopping, doing crafts, and especially her family. Debbie was profound with her comments and her view of others that would make you smile or laugh. Thank you, Debbie, for the memories. She has left footprints on our hearts and will be greatly missed.

Debbie is preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Delitha "Dee" Doty, and her sister, Denise Angus. She is survived by her sisters: Wanda Fleming and Becky Millstead (Philip); her brother, Wayne Angus (Becky); her nieces: Beth Kiely Johnston (Cory), Abigail Angus, and Emily Millstead; and her nephews: Curtis Millstead and Matthew Angus (Rosa Lea).
