Debra Ann McManus

Debra Ann McManus, lovingly known as Deb, Momma, and Nanny, passed away on November 9, 2026, with her family by her side, at the age of 61.

Debra was born on February 4, 1965, in Corcoran, California, to Roy and Margaret (Vanzant) Hill. She graduated from Glenpool High School and went on to build a career as an office manager at SureShot Exterminating, Inc. Debra was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, and cherished great-grandmother whose greatest joy was the family she loved so dearly.

Debra met the love of her life, Jay (JQ) McManus, and the two were married on August 19, 1988. Together, they built a life filled with love, memories, and family. To those who knew her best, Debra was more than just a wife, mother, and grandmother; she was a source of comfort, wisdom, patience, and unconditional love.

She had a special way of making everyone feel heard and cared for. Debra was a woman of love and patience who always took the time to listen. Her home was a place where everyone was welcome, and no one ever left hungry. She made sure every person had a warm plate of food before she would finally sit down herself. That was simply who Debra was-always putting others first and showing her love through the little things that meant so much.

Debra found happiness in the things she loved most. She enjoyed cooking and baking, camping, fishing, spending time in her swimming pool, and making memories with her family. She especially treasured time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whether enjoying a family gathering or setting off on a cruise, Debra knew how to make every moment special. She was also a devoted Oklahoma Sooners fan and loved cheering on her beloved Sooners in both softball and football.

Her love and legacy will continue through her husband, Jay (JQ) McManus; her siblings, Raymond Hill and Annette Oberlander; her extended family, Phillip Hill and wife Susan, and Sheilia Baker and family; her beloved children, Amanda and Matthew Carter, Melissa and Aaron Prince, and Dustin McManus; her grandchildren, including Keegan Thompson,Kristina Thompson,Trevor Bales, Kaden Prince, Kash Prince, Bryar Prince, Kenzley McManus, and Brantley McManus; and her great-grandchild, Sylas Bales.

Debra was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Margaret Hill.

Though her family will deeply miss her loving presence, the memories she created, the meals she prepared, the conversations she shared, and the countless ways she showed her love will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. Her greatest legacy is the family she cherished and the love she gave so freely. She will forever be remembered as Deb, Momma, Nanny, and a woman whose heart always had room for one more.

Services will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Schaudt's Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, 1329 East 151st Street South, Glenpool, Oklahoma.
