Deborah June “June Bug” Carey-Hall was born on Wednesday, October 7th, 1959 in Tahlequah, OK, the daughter of Geneva (Welch) Dirteater. She had three brothers and three sisters, Rodney, David, Ronald, Donna, Connie, and Eva, Deborah was the youngest girl. She grew up in Cherokee County, where she loved to play basketball and softball for Lost City and Hulbert Schools. At age 18 she had a baby boy, Larry Joe Bowlin. She was a loving mother, working many jobs to make ends meet. She worked at Sequoyah State Park as the Park Office Manager. In 1990, she met Jeff Hall from Ankeny, IA and she married her best friend in 1993, living in Tahlequah, OK for the past 18 years. She worked at both WW Hastings and Northeastern Health Care as a medical transcriptionist, a job she thoroughly enjoyed. Whenever she wasn’t working, you could find June Bug 4-wheeling, and meeting up with family and friends camping, usually at the lake or Clear Creek. She wasn’t the kind that minded a little dirt and was quite the daredevil. 1994 found her with a diagnosis of Lupus, it was hard for her to accept, and there were days that she struggled, but she never gave up. She always took care of the family that mattered more to her than life itself. In 2009 she was blessed with a grandson, Benton Joe Bowlin. He was her ray of sunshine and she was so proud to be his Grandma. Spending time with him was always very special for her. As part of her bucket list, Deborah took her family on a trip to the mountains of Colorado. Camping and four wheeling along the way to 4 Corners and the Grand Canyon area. She loved being out doors and wanted Benton to have memories of summer vacation with his family. Deborah and Jeff moved to the Woodall area in 2008, and spent the last 11 years in the house they adored. She never lost her faith in God, never gave up on getting her health under control, positive to the end, that was the fighter in Deborah. The Lord called this remarkable wife, sister, mother and Grandmother home from her labors on Saturday, August 31st, 2019 in Tahlequah with those she loved close by. She was 59 years old and will be greatly missed.
She is preceded in death by her mother, father, grandparents, and many aunts and uncles.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband Jeffrey Hall of the home and her son, Joe Bowlin of Amarillo, TX. She leaves her brothers and sisters, Rodney Carey, David Ledbetter and wife Susan all of Hulbert, OK, Ronald Carey of Tahlequah, Donna Nichols and husband David of Tulsa, Connie Carey and companion Tommy Bridges of Tulsa, and Eva Hildreth and husband Keith of Durham, NC. She leaves one aunt, Drew Pratt of Claremore, OK. She will live on in her grandson, Bento Joe Bowlin of Woodall, OK, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones.
