Obituary

Debbie Wainwright of Wylie, Texas passed away on August 16, 2020, from natural causes at the age of 71. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, she was the eldest of two daughters born to Loreen and Daniel Wainwright. Debbie graduated from Burlingame High School and the University of Wyoming, where she received a BS in Psychology. Debbie lived in Tucson, Arizona, and worked for IBM for many years before moving to Texas. She moved to Texas to be closer to her sister Wendy, who passed away in 2005. Debbie’s parents also moved from California to Wylie, Texas. Debbie helped care for her parents until their deaths. Debbie will be remembered as a devoted friend to Margaret Sanchez of San Jose, CA, Sabine Bryttegard of Palm Desert, CA, and Jill Hataway of Wylie, TX, and cousin of John Arnold, OR. Debbie had a remarkable sense of humor; she was an avid animal lover, extremely forgiving, and had a very kind heart. If you were lucky enough to know her and be her friend, it was for life. Debbie left her mark on so many of us, and we will always hold her memory close to our hearts. A bright light has gone out. Debbie will be greatly missed by all of us privileged enough to call her friend. Debbie and Wendy will be laid to rest in California with their parents.   Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website.

    I was so sorry to hear the news of Debbie’s passing. She was so strong and had such a lively spirit. We met in 2006 when her father and my mother reunited at age 86 as close former high school acquaintances, after both of their spouses had sadly passed away. I treasure those years together and the new memories made and shared by our families. Her love of animals and dedication to her father will always be remembered. May her soul rest in peace.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
