Debbie Sue Byrne (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Deborah Sue Byrne of Bolivar, Missouri, departed from this life on August 5, 2016.
She was born on July 7, 1956, in Long Beach, California to Robert and Patricia Redfearn. The eldest of three; a sister, Cynthia Coon, and brother, David Redfearn.
She was raised in Southern California where she attended grade school, middle school, and later graduated from Los Alamitos High School, in 1974. She spent most of her life residing in Huntington Beach, where she and Chris Byrne raised their three daughters.
Debbie enjoyed gardening, cooking, the outdoors, and all things creative. Her greatest joy, however, was found in the fulfillment of her dream of becoming a mother. Her three daughters grew up secure in the knowledge of their importance as Debbie selflessly, willingly, and joyously gave her all to this task. A mother’s love is the greatest love of all.
Those of us that knew her will remember her great passion for having fun, sense of humor, captivating smile, gorgeous eyes, and tender heart. She will be greatly missed.
Debbie is survived by her children, Renee Duncan (husband Todd), of Aptos, California; Kristin Byrne, of Los Angeles, California; Jennifer Spencer (husband Brian), of Austin, Texas; seven grandchildren, Adelle Duncan, Etta Duncan, Haily Solis, Cash Gebhardt, Brayden Spencer, Summer Spencer, and Skylar Spencer; her father, Robert Redfearn; brother, David Redfearn; and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her mother and sister.
Debbie’s legacy lives on through her daughters, all great mothers in their own right. They were nurtured by the perfect role model.
A private family service was held.
