Debra Owens

Debra Evitts Owens, beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 19, 2026, at Deaconess Henderson Hospital. She was born on February 2, 1957, in Muhlenberg County to the late Less and Margie (Tinsley) Evitts . Debra's warm spirit and strong presence touched the lives of all who were blessed to know her.

A dedicated bartender, Debra had a natural gift for making everyone feel welcome, and she found joy in the camaraderie of friends and family, especially during her time at the Moose lodge. She had a love for reading and spent countless hours immersed in her favorite books. In her quieter moments, Debra found great pleasure in playing games on her phone, a simple joy that brought her peace.

Debra is survived by her loving husband, Daniel Owens; her daughter, Maranda Rose (Chris); six siblings; two cherished grandchildren, Arianna and Cameron Rose; and one great-grandchild, Giovanni Carandante. She will be deeply missed by all of her loved ones.

In addition to her parents, Debra was preceded in death by her son, Michael Townsend, and three siblings, whose memories she carried in her heart.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
