Debbie Martin

Debra Kay Arnold, now Debbie Martin, was born in Paris, Texas to Louise and Martin Arnold. Although raised in Paris, she called Dallas her home most of her adult life. She recently moved to a new Frisco, TX home with her precious dog Buddy. In Frisco, Debbie found more friends and a new spiritual home at Preston Trail Community Church. Debbie left us on Thanksgiving 2025 and now resides in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. Debbie is survived by her sister-in-law, Patricia Arnold, nephews, Kip and Kris Arnold, and niece, Kim Williams. Proceeded in death by her brother, Gene Arnold and her sister, Wanda Seay. When Debbie entered a place, you could literally feel radiance, joy and light fill the entire room. She projected all three attributes through her smile, her personality and through her interactions with others. Once you met Debbie, you knew her. She kept one foot grounded in authenticity and the other grounded in giving. Both were the drivers of her professional success and her personal abundance in life. Debbie had the kind of abundance some people will never know. Yes, she had financial success that yielded her a wonderful lifestyle, but it was her good nature that opened the door to peoples’ hearts that truly made her rich. Debbie had the wealth of good living enhanced with extended family, great friends, loyal clients, and devoted networkers. Most people don’t realize Debbie had many talents: she was an accomplished singer, a licensed massage therapist and a highly respected entrepreneur. Singing came naturally to Debbie. She was in her high school choir and went to Texas Women’s University on a music scholarship. Later, Debbie and her husband, the lead vocalists in a band, performed around the country. Debbie was not only a gifted singer that expressed her vibrant soul through music, she was also an amazing artist who expressed her creativity on the canvas. No surprise to anyone, her paintings are of free-spirited, fluid images in vivid colors that truly reflect her bohemian disposition. Debbie left the band, divorced and both singing and painting became hobbies. She moved to California to pursue a new career path in massage therapy. And, during this time, she suffered a financial loss so devasting that she lived out of her car for a while. Neither daunted nor bitter, she started over. Debbie moved back to Texas where she continued her health-focused lifestyle and massage therapy profession in Paris, Texas and then later at the Dallas Country Club. Healing others, from the inside-out was at the core of how Debbie lived her personal life and is ultimately what attracted Debbie to maintain a career in the wellness sector. In July of 2023, Debbie embraced the road to entrepreneurialism when she discovered LifeWave. As she shared the healing properties of the LifeWave product line, we witnessed changes in Debbie. Her natural light was brighter, her personality blossomed further, and her career exploded. She and Buddy were truly living the life of their greatest dreams. So, to that end, rather than mourn her passing, we ask that you celebrate her incredible life with us. Her memorial service will be held at: Preston Trail Community Church Thursday, December 11, 2025 11:00 AM 8055 Independence Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75035 Reception to follow. There will be no gravesite service.
