On Thursday, January 7, Debbie Kay Milburn Eoff, wife, teacher, mother, and Nana, 64, from Brownwood, surprised everyone as she entered the gates of Heaven walking, dancing, and probably even running to the feet of Jesus.
Debbie was born to Charles and Willie Milburn in Nocona Texas, February 9, 1956. At the age of two, Debbie contracted polio. She spent 9 months in an iron lung and faced multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. Polio may have slowed her down however, it did not stop her. If anyone told Debbie no, this head strong, force of nature, would set out to prove they were wrong, and she did this often. This was evident as she went through high school. As one Senior Personality article had written, “If you want to argue with Debbie Milburn, don’t!!” She was very persuasive. Debbie then attended college at Howard Payne University where she met and married the love of her life, Garry. They were married for 43 years.
