Debra Coyle Anderson Obituary

Debra Coyle Anderson was born on August 27, 1956, in Liverpool, England to her parents, Maureen and Clinton Hale. She was the second born child in the family, and was raised with her siblings, David, Shane, Jason and Stephanie. As a child, Debra loved to walk along and play among the trees in the forests of Germany; where her family was stationed while her father was in the military. She enjoyed exploring and discovering animals she hadn’t encountered before.

After her family relocated to Colorado, Debra was educated through Aurora Public Schools, she graduated from Hinkley High School and later honed her service and sales skills in real estate school. Her professional journey flourished as she made notable contributions to the world of beauty, working with prestigious retailers such as Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue. Debra's expertise earned her numerous accolades, particularly in skin care, where her guidance was sought after by many. She was an award-winning make-up designer who earned her keep by continuing to strive for excellence.

Debra met a gentleman named Robert Coyle, while living in Denver. They were later married on October 10, 1980 in Littleton, Colorado. To this union, Michael Timothy Coyle was born. This marriage was later dissolved. Years later, amongst her routine of working out, she came across a lovely gentleman named Jackie R. Anderson, Sr.; after spending lots of quality time together, they were married on June 27, 1997 in Aurora, Colorado. The couple spent many lovely years together, traveling, trying new experiences and simply enjoying life together. Jackie was with her every step of the way and stayed by his wife’s bed side and she fell ill.

To know Debra was to lover her. Despite appearing tough on the outside, she possessed a heart of gold, she had such a generous spirit and loved everyone around her.

One of Michael’s fondest memories of his mother was how she took great care in dressing him to the nine’s. He was always the most fashionable kid in school.

Debra passionately pursued various hobbies. An avid golfer and bodybuilder, she enjoyed jogging, aerobic exercise, and exploring the outdoors. She had a commitment to living an active lifestyle.

Debra's family includes her loving husband, Jackie Anderson, Sr.; her son, Michael T. Coyle; her stepsons, Jackie Anderson, Jr. and Jarrod (Diana) Clayton; and her cherished grandchildren, Milla Stralo, Sequoia Stralo, Sonja, Mikey and Aviva Coyle, Da'vion and Jaliyah Anderson. She is also survived by her siblings, Shane Coyle, Jason Coyle, and Stephanie Sloan, along with many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends who will miss her dearly.
