Deborah Gail Albonetti

Debbie Albonetti departed her earthly life in Bastrop, Texas on February 17th, 2021 at the age of 69. She was born in Galveston, TX to Antone and Elouise Albonetti. She graduated from Ball High School class of “70". After graduating she found her calling, working with special needs children. She worked with several agencies throughout Texas from Galveston, to Dallas and the Rio Grande Valley. Debbie soon found a job with Austin's independent school district and was honored at her retirement for her 29 years of service. Debbie loved Austin, the culture, its people, and especially the music. Austin became her home. Debbie enjoyed Austin Honkytonks listening and hanging out with musicians such as Joe Ely (her absolute favorite) and others such as Jesse Taylor, Vaughn Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Bobby Bland, Bonnie Raitt and so many others. Her zeal for life and doing it her way will be remembered by all. Although she loved Austin, her greatest love of all was her lifelong companions (rescued dogs) Cruiser, Nemo, and Caine. She spoiled these pets to no end and they loved her back unconditionally. Debbie is proceeded in death by her father Antone Albonetti Jr. and leaves behind her loving mother Elouise Albonetti and siblings Martha Perkett, Patty Sanderson, Melody Hamilton, and Tony Albonetti III. Special thanks to Katie Sutton and Holley Hallmark (neighbors) for checking on her during her declining health and especially her dear friend Liz Henry for always being there for Debbie. A Celebration of Debbie’s life will be held at a still to be determined date.
