Debbie Storey Falgout, 63, of Beaumont, died peacefully at home on Thursday, September 28, 2017, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Port Arthur, Texas, on May 13, 1954, to Dorothy Ruth Rabe Storey and Floyd Rosin Storey.

Debbie was an active member of the community. She spent her time counseling cancer survivors, traveling and she loved entertaining and spending time at the family lake house.

Debbie’s investment in retail therapy has delivered many a treasure to friends and strangers in need. In addition to raising her own children, and being a caregiver to her parents, Debbie dedicated her life to extending love, counsel, and generosity to every person who entered her life.

Debbie is a true example of Christ’s love. She will be remembered for her positive attitude, strong faith and courageous attitude during her 24-year battle with cancer.
