Deborah Mixon Upchurch

O Ms. Upchurch. I have thought of you so often throughout my life. You were my Sisters Kindergarten teacher and also mine at Clifton Elementary. My sister remembers when she had you and my mom brought me up to the school and I was a newborn and your face lit up with joy " O Maya you have a beautiful little sister to keep you company now" And you held me so long as you told my mom how much of a joy my sister was in your class. Fast forward I had the pleasure of having you for Kindergarten....

Remembering all of the fun tailgating at Auburn football games. Always smiling. Prayers going out to the family.

We were so sorry to learn of Debbie's death. We remember her fondly from high school. She was friendly and smiled a lot.

My Aunt Debbie loved us all so well - she showed her love in many different and sweet ways. She was always so much fun and always so generous. I am forever marked by her life and how she loved our family. I love you always, Debbie
