Our beloved Deborah Wyatt Rader passed away on January 2, 2026. Born February 1, 1948, Deborah was known for her wonderful sense of humor, her unconditional love for her sons, her generosity, and her loving spirit that has left an impression on everyone in her life.
Deborah was predeceased by her father, Phinis “Bub” Wyatt and Mother, Ada Maxine Wyatt.
Deborah is survived and lovingly remembered by her sister Melinda, husband, Ernie, daughter, Amy, her brother, Michael, wife, Susie, children Joshua and Julian, her son, Trey, wife Amanda, child, Alyssa, her son Wyatt, children, Hagen, Bryn, Brogan, her son Mark, wife Dawn, daughter Emery, son Derek, and her life partner Winford “Barney” Pratt. Deborah also leaves behind a large brokenhearted support group of relatives including aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and a countless array of friends.
Deborah was a big personality in a small package. She had an impact on every person she interacted with. She was brave, courageous, inspirational, kind, loving, funny, full of joy, and just a ball of fire when she needed to be. She lived her life to the fullest, despite life’s sometimes hard and unforgiving challenges. Her most significant accomplishment was raising her three boys, whom she held as her pride and joy.
One of her favorite pastimes was cheering for her sons and all their teammates at every one of their football games. She loved social gatherings and being able to join her friends and family for any event taking place. She never stopped being the life of the party, all the way to her departure.
A celebration of life for Deborah will be held on January 30th, 2026, from noon to 3 p.m. at the La Cima Amenities center in San Marcos, TX. All those wishing to pay their respects and celebrate with us are welcome.
A graveside burial for Deborah will also take place at the Rest Haven Cemetery in Menard, Texas on February 1, 2026, at 1 p.m., where she will be placed with her parents for her final resting place. Anyone wishing to pay their respects at that time is also welcome to join her friends and family.
