Deborah Reagan, 74, passed away on July 1, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born on May 20, 1951, in Chino, California, she lived a life marked by strength, conviction, and deep faith.
Deborah pursued studies in law enforcement and public relations during her college years, laying the foundation for a life of purpose and service. She later built a career as an insurance biller at Dr. Jourdan's dental office, where her diligence and attention to detail were valued by colleagues and patients alike for many years. Dr Jourdan and his wife, Sherry, were dear to Deborah.
A devout Christian, Deborah was an active member of Cornerstone Church. Her faith was central to her life; she was known for sharing God's word with those around her and offering care and compassion rooted in her beliefs. Her presence at church was both steadfast and inspiring.
Outside of work and worship, Deborah found joy in the natural world. She had a passion for planting and gardening, often spending time outdoors nurturing the beauty around her. Her love for art and painting reflected her creative spirit and offered another outlet for self-expression.
Those who knew Deborah will remember her as strong-willed and opinionated-a woman who stood firm in her beliefs and carried herself with confidence. Though sometimes intimidating in presence, she cared deeply for others and remained true to herself throughout her life.
Deborah was preceded in death by her step-father, Ronald Steele.
Left to cherish her memory: mother, Eileen Steele, with whom Deborah shared a home with for the last 15 years and was also best friends; daughters: Rhonda Weger (Charles) of Las Vegas, NV, Laurie Bynum and Shannon Fields, both of Grove; grandchildren: Cayla, Tony Cody, Molly, Zach, Ryan and Bayliegh; great grandchildren: Kason, Legend, Major, Evangelina, Kamdyn, Oliver and Jackson.
Memorial services HAVE BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO AN EMERGENCY.
