Debra "Debi" Edmondson

1954 - 2017

Debra "Debi" Frye Edmondson, 63, of Fort Mill, South Carolina, passed away suddenly at her home on March 4, 2017.
Debi was born February 17, 1954, in Leesburg, Virginia, to the late Jesse W. Frye and Helen Wynkoop Frye.
The youngest of three daughters, Debi attended Lucketts Elementary School prior to graduating from Loudoun County High School in 1972. It was there in her sophomore year that she began a lifelong relationship with R.W., her husband of 43 years. While raising their two children, Patrick and Courtney, Debi enjoyed a very successful 20-year career in local government working for both Louisa and Spotsylvania counties. Since moving to Fort Mill, South Carolina in 2005, she has been an active member of St. John's United Methodist Church, where she has participated in various groups and activities, including United Methodist Women and the Chancel Choir.
Known for her quick wit and infectious smile, you could be sure any amount of time spent with her included laughter and memories to cherish for a lifetime. Debi was an incredible cook and the best hostess around, always welcoming everyone with the utmost grace and ease. She was our matriarch - strong, honest, nurturing and completely dedicated to her family and God. Her love was unconditional and she led by her Christian example. She was "Debi" to most, "Mama" to her children, and "Mimi" to her precious grandchildren, who adored her and will miss her beyond belief.
She is survived by her husband, R.W. Edmondson III of Fort Mill, South Carolina; two children and their spouses, Patrick and Leigh Ann Edmondson of Indian Land, South Carolina, and Courtney and Greg Bonèy of Lake Wylie, South Carolina; four grandchildren, William, Molly, Benjamin and Abigail; two sisters, Charlotte (Paul) Duncan of Southport, North Carolina, and Marilyn Short of Lexington, South Carolina; as well as many other loving family members and special friends.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 7, 2017, from 5 until 7 p.m. at St. John's United Methodist Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The memorial service will be on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, at 2 p.m. at the church, with Pastor Karen Radcliffe officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. John's United Methodist Church, 130 Tom Hall Street, Fort Mill, SC 29715.
