Debbie passed away Thursday, August 4, 2011 at the age of 39.

The daughter of Carl and Margie Luster Hilbert was born December 20, 1971, in Tulsa. As a young girl raised in the Catoosa area her bubbly personality, infectious smile and personal mission to brighten your day was ever present. As the years passed by she shared her love of life with friends and family while playing soccer, softball, and showing livestock.

She became active in school and her community and would never settle for less than her very best. She played in the Catoosa Band and was a member of the local 4H club. In the spring of 1990 Debbie graduated from Catoosa High School. After graduation she enrolled in the nursing program at Rogers State and graduated with honors. Upon completion of college Debbie entered the workforce.

A short time later she met Michael Beeler. August 21,1997 they were married at Tiawah Community Baptist Church. They settled in rural Rogers County and began raising a family. In 2002 she decided to have a career change. She began working for Burlington Northern Santa Fe as a railroad
conductor. As the years went by and her children grew older, she became more and more active with all their activities, especially football. On the football field she was known best as "Momma Beeler". Often she found herself finishing her night shift at work just in time to get home to help her boys with whatever they needed.

Survivors include her husband Michael Beeler of the home; sons, Tyler and Wyatt Beeler of the home; parents, Carl and Margie Hilbert of Inola, and sister Sharon Holm and husband Lance; nephews, Gunner and Maverick, mother- in- law Janet Beeler of Catoosa and many aunts,uncles, cousins and friends.
