Born in:
Hearne, Texas
Resided in:
Bryan, Texas
Deborah Sue (Meadors) Waskow, affectionately known as “Hunny,” passed away, Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at the age of 69 in Bryan, TX. Deborah spent her last days surrounded by family and loved ones.
Deborah was born to Patsy and Jeff Meadors, February 2, 1954, in Hearne, TX. She and her older brother, Jeff Meadors, Jr., were the only children of Patsy and Jeff. Deborah grew up and attended Hearne schools, then went on to graduate from Hearne High School in 1973. In 1975, she joined the US Army, and proudly served for 2 years. During her time in the Army, she was awarded “Sharp Shooter” decoration.
Deborah married Daniel Waskow in 1977 and was married for 4 years. Together they had one son, Brandon Ray Waskow, born August 1, 1977. Being a mother to Brandon was her greatest joy in life, second only to her love of being “Hunny” to her two grandsons, Austin and Barrett.
Deborah worked at her mother’s grocery store in Calvert for many years as a young woman. She later owned several successful businesses. In 2007, she went to work for the Brazos County Courthouse, where she remained a dedicated employee up until the time of her passing. She took great pride in her work, and enjoyed the time spent with her work family.
Deborah enjoyed working hard at whatever she did. Up until her decline in health, Deborah loved being outside and worked daily to keep her yard and gardens pristine. She enjoyed raising animals with Brandon while he was growing up. Once she became a “Hunny,” she spent as much time as she could with her grandsons. She looked forward to attending school and sporting events for the boys. Nothing was more precious to her than time spent with family and loved ones. She loved hosting family meals and holidays for many years.
Deborah is preceded in death by her parents, Patsy Wilson-Hailey and Jeff Meadors. She is survived by her son and daughter in law, Brandon and Meagan Waskow, grandsons Austin and Barrett Waskow, and step-grandsons, Thorn and Rhyder Humphries, brother and sister-in-law Jeff, Jr. (“Bubba,”) and Mickey Meadors, as well as many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.
While her family and loved ones will miss her love, spunk and humor, they find comfort in knowing that she is fully restored in Heaven with Jesus Christ.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Even though we were no longer so called related we still remained friends and often spoke about family as we saw each other in the courthouse where we both worked. I know I’m going to miss her laugh and her smile. May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus and I know we will see each other again.
I have such precious childhood memories of Debbie. I remember some of the after-Thanksgiving dinner discussions as a small child. Typically, the family would have those in-depth life problem solving, “what is one + one’ discussions. After 20min of debate, Debbie would walk in the room, and blurt out “The answer is 2 people!” My first witness of a Mic drop moment back in the 70s. Lol, she always had her way. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I’m going to miss her laugh and her smile. As noted in 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
Praise God, see you again Cousin Deb!
I am so sorry to hear about Deborah Sue. She & I were childhood neighbors and played many hours together. I haven’t seen here in a very long time but my heart aches with this sad news.
