Debra Irene Garner

March 11, 1958 - November 19, 2013

Debra Irene Garner, 55, passed from this life to join her heavenly Father on Tuesday, November 19, 2013. She was at her home surrounded by family.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Friday in Biggers Funeral Chapel. Interment will be at Azleland Memorial Park. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home.

Debbie I. Tallant was born in Fort Worth on March 11, 1958. As a teen, she and her parents, Paul and Joyce, moved to Boyd where she completed high school. She had lived in the area since then, eventually moving to Azle with her loving husband of 11 years, Gary.

A multi-talented performer, Debbie enjoyed a life of beauty pageants as well as singing and playing guitar with renowned musicians. For this reason, her family and friends rejoice that she now fulfills the scripture from Psalm 71: “I will express my thanks to You with a stringed instrument, praising your faithfulness. Yes, I will sing your praises! I will praise You when You rescue me!”

Debbie’s love and laughter will be deeply missed by many; she expressed genuine devotion to her family and friends throughout her life.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Joyce Tallant; and her sister, Connie Lewis.

She is survived by her husband, Gary Garner of Azle; sons, Larry Bobbitt Jr. and wife, Brittany, of Azle, Jared Bobbitt and wife, Tia, of Springtown, Andy Garner of Azle; daughter, Jessica Cearley and husband, Derek, of Springtown; sister, Carolyn Weddel Read of Bridgeport; and seven grandchildren, Grace, Kaley, Garner, Layton, Praise, Judah and Geren.

Oh how we all will miss you, Deb. I will never forget how you shined at the Boyd Talent Shows in high school and how you were featured singing "OH Let Me Be Your Loving Teddy Bear" on TV"s HEE HAW. You were smokin' hot and so loved by all your friends. May God bring peace to your family knowing that you are now singing in Heaven and rejoicing with Him. RIP.

Oh, my dear friend Debbie. My heart is very heavy. We shared some wonderful music making memories. You the reason i picked up that old guitar, and soon learned to play, and it opened a whole new world, for me. The times we spent doing local shows, were by far some of the sweetest memories i have. We were in our element, and we did it well together. I will cherrish these and many, many more life memories, forever. To be absent from this earth, is to be present with the Lord. I know your singing for Christ. Untill God calls me home. R.I.P. Debbie your laughter and song, will be missed. Love, Danette
