Deborah J. "Debi" Martinez, nee Dillman, of Rogers, Ark., passed away Monday, December 14, 2020 at Mercy Hospital in Rogers, Ark. She was born December 7, 1950 in Fort Wayne, Ind., to Leonard and Rachel Dillman. Debi always enjoyed playing cards and games like bingo and was known for her extraordinary luck at both that defied odds. She was the artistic one in our family, always making posters and art or craft pieces for others. She so enjoyed the craft classes she participated in at Innisfree. Debi's favorite companion in recent years was her West Highland Terrier, Kieki. The two of them were inseparable and Debi missed her much in the last few months. Debi was married to Bill West for 10 years until his passing in 1988. She was married to Steve Martinez for 21 years until his passing in 2011. Debi is survived by her siblings, Jaquelyn Lindquist of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Linda Dillman of Zionsville, Indiana, and Earl Dillman of Zionsville, Indiana. Given the current situation in our country, there will be a private service for immediate family members. Kidney disease had a significant impact on Debi's life; we request donations to the National Kidney Foundation in lieu of flowers. To leave on online condolence please visit www.stockdalemoody.com.
