Deborah Daniels Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 1 to Dec. 3, 2023.
Knoxville - Deborah Lynn Daniels, affectionately known as Debbie, passed away from her earthly home on November 29, 2023, at the age of 69 in Knoxville, TN. Born on March 5, 1954, in Harriman, TN, Debbie brought endless joy and laughter into the world. She was a true master of fun, known for her bright sense of humor, ingenious creativity, and compassionate heart.

Debbie was a true social butterfly, entertaining every room with her unpredictable sense of humor and contagious laughter. When she wasn't effortlessly tickling everyone's funny bone, she found joy in her passion for crafting. Her creative mind was always at work, spending countless hours sewing, quilting, knitting, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Her talents knew no limits, and she poured her heart and soul into every project she undertook, leaving behind a legacy of beautifully crafted treasures that will forever be cherished.

Above all else, Debbie valued her family. She is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, Rickey, her loving daughter Megan, her brother Leo Stinnett (Ginny), sister-in-law Jaylene Baisley (Bill McGee), and a host of nieces and nephews who adored her: Mike Baisley (Ashley), Kyle Baisley (Mandy), Krystal Doyle, and Kim Stinnett. Her great-niece and nephews, Claire, Ben, Graham, Nolan, and Brigham Baisley, will forever treasure the memory of their Great Aunt Debbie. Her beloved furry companions, Kramer and Pepper, were always by her side. Preceding her in death were her father, Leo Stinnett, and mother, Margaret Livingston Moore (Ralph). Debbie graduated from Roane County High School in 1972 and continued her educational pursuits at Tennessee Tech University. A believer in Jesus Christ, Debbie was committed to her faith and found her community at First Baptist Church of Kingston.

A celebration honoring Debbie's life will be held at Kyker's Funeral Home in Harriman, TN on Friday, December 8, 2023. Friends and loved ones are welcome to join between 5-7 PM for a receiving of friends, followed by a celebration of life service at 7 PM.

Let us always remember Debbie for her infectious laughter, playful spirit, and innate ability to brighten any room. She leaves behind a legacy of joy and mirth that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Now free from all pain and suffering, Debbie rests in the presence of Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I remember her knitting on her break at work. And I loved watching her. When I told her I wanted to learn, she told me to buy some sticks and yarn and she would teach me. She did. She was so much fun. All the jokes we shared. And then hugs sometimes. Thank you for all time to have her in my life. I was changed for the better because I knew her. Much love and prayers

We made so many memories over the years, had so much fun together, taking sewing classes, quilting classes and getting caught in the ice storm in Oak Ridge. We went to quilt shows, retreats and of course, shopping. When I was new to the area she taught me about Knoxville. She helped spoil my son, he loves her dearly and I took her to OB visits before Megan was born. Then the last few years, many long phone calls. I´m really going to miss that. I watched her fight unimaginable health issues. I would think, if I could only make her laugh, instead she would make me laugh. I take comfort in knowing she´s now without pain in a brand new body.

I met Debbie through my neighbors the Hosking´s. She was funny. She was kind. She was creative and above all she adored and was so proud of her precious daughter Meghan.

We will always be grateful for Debbie introducing us to chopped strawberries (not sliced) atop delicious shortbread. Our few dinners together were memorable and warm. May God bless you and comfort you, Megan and Rick. Charlie and Kathryn Beach
