Deborah Renee McKenney

She is survived by her spouse of 23 years, Mrs. Liz Galindo, her sisters Glenda Keeling, Donna Slay, Irma N. Alvarez and several other family members who live throughout Houston & Killeen, TX. She is preceded in death by her parents, Mr. John C. McKenney and June M. Forester along with several sisters and brothers.

Debbie was born in Houston, raised in Baytown and moved to Austin in 1989, where she devoted 30 years to the Seton Healthcare Network. She was always willing to help anyone and made everyone feel so special.

She was always described as a gentle soul, who was always thinking of others. One of her passions was her family and friends, who she will always love truly and dearly. She was an avid history buff who gave the best tours of Austin and surrounding areas to her family and friends, explaining details of certain events in history. The tours were great! Debbie was a great cook among our favorite dishes were her chicken fried steak and chicken and dressing for the holidays.

Debbie fought a most admirable fight against cancer and she is not just my hero, but a hero to many others. Her unconditional love and unselfishness are some of her many great qualities that made her so special. My love transcends her passing. I was truly blessed to have the love of such a beautiful soul and a beautiful person. Heaven has indeed gained an angel that is loved by so many. Her legacy lives on in those who truly love her.
