Age - 66

Debra "Debbie" Lynn Evans (Reynolds) entered this world at 4:40am on October 16, 1957 in Chicago, Illinois. She often said she wasn’t born in Texas, but she got here as fast as she could. She was the oldest of four children. Growing up, they moved around frequently but she had fond memories of her time in Uvalde and considered this her hometown. She was a lifelong Willie Nelson fan and attended many of his Fourth of July picnics over the years and numerous concerts. She married the love of her life, Cecil Evans on October 9, 1999. He too was a huge Willie Nelson fan. She had numerous jobs over the years and always enjoyed getting to know her coworkers. She could sit and talk for hours followed by retreating to the quietness of her home where she would speak to her daughter on the phone anywhere from 2 to 12 times a day! She enjoyed shopping and couldn’t pass up a clearance aisle. After her husband passed away, she found comfort living next door to her parents. They took care of one another. In her early 50’s she became a big wrestling fan with the help of her son. They watched wrestling together often. She looked forward to family reunions and loved to play Dominos. She drove with a heavy foot and her country music playing loudly. During her years in the nursing home, she started playing Bingo and her loud radio turned into a loud TV. She enjoyed time with family and would take in just about any animal she found. Debra even had a pet goose as a child… (Yes, Mom, I had to put the goose in here). She loved a good practical joke followed by a laugh and hug together. Debra’s family turned to her to make spanish rice, deviled eggs, and around the holidays, fudge! Purple was her favorite color and she loved Native American décor. She is preceded in death by her parents, Clifford and Shirley Reynolds, and her husband, Cecil Evans. She is survived by her two children, son Bryan Parker (Keli) of Gonzales Texas and Daughter Martha Cunningham (Alan) of College Station Texas; seven grandchildren; brother, Clifford Reynolds Junior; sisters, Kathy Zumwalt (Harvey) and Sharon Parsley; two nephews (1 godson) and one niece; and many other relatives and friends with a special acknowledgement to Hedy and Joe (Fat Man) Wallace. Debbie passed peacefully into the arms of her parents and Jesus on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. From all of us left behind: "Debbie, we all love you too!" The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Fortress Nursing Home for their long care of Mrs. Evans. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to Traditions Hospice care for taking special care of her in her final days. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you wear shades of purple for Debbie. If anyone has a story or kind words they wish to share at her funeral, the family would greatly appreciate it.Show more

Lou Ellen Whiddon Doiron, age 95, of Bryan, Texas passed away on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. She was born in Louisiana on November 30, 1927 to Robert and Agnes Whiddon. She had one sister Wilma Jeanette. The Whiddons moved to Port Arthur when she was a baby, and they lived there until about 1940 when they moved to Moss Bluff. She graduated from Gillis High School as the Salutatorian of her graduating class. She married AC Donahoo, and they had Gary Wayne in 1946. AC died in 1951 leaving her a widow with a young son at an early age. A couple of years later Lou attended a church service where a young man named U. A. Doiron was preaching. She set eyes on him and he on her, and the rest, as they say, is history. U. A. pastored the church in Moss Bluff, and Lou played the piano. In 1953 their daughter Debra was born, and in 1959 their son, Brian was born. In 1962 the family moved to Dallas, Texas where U. A. began a career at Dallas Bible College. In the time they spent there, Lou was U. A. 's executive secretary and then became the librarian for the college. She accomplished an incredible feat of changing the entire library over from the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress system. She also added numerous volumes to the library to bring it up to accreditation standards. When the college closed, they returned to Moss Bluff and began work at Camp Pearl. Lou learned the computer system of QuickBooks and became the financial manager of the camp. They worked side by side for most of their married life accomplishing many "turn arounds" with churches, the college, and the camp. As their health began to decline, they moved to Bryan, Texas in 2018 to live with their daughter and her husband. U. A. passed away in February, 2022, and Lou continued the fight against fibromyalgia and congestive heart failure. She had a stroke on November 22 and went to meet Jesus on November 28, 2023. She is survived by her 2 sons, 1 daughter, 3 grandsons, 3 granddaughters, 11 great-grandsons, 2 great granddaughters, and 2 great-great grandsons.
