Deborah Jean Clarkson "Debbie", of Winchester Virginia, passed away on the 21st of January after a long battle with cancer.

Debbie grew up in Vienna, Virginia where she was once a softball star of her school, Oakton High. She later resided in Manassas, Virginia where she found her passion of being a truck driver.

She enjoyed painting, drawing, and building things. She also loved taking trips to Skyline Drive to admire all of the views. She was passionate about animals, always helping those in need.

Debbie is preceded in death by her parents Larry and June Clarkson, her brother Rick Clarkson, and her grandson Galeb Clarkson.

She is survived by her daughter Jennifer Campbell, her grandsons Shawn and Chris McCullough, her granddaughter Cecilia Clarkson and two great-granddaughters Stella and Scarlett. She is also survived by her loyal cat, Dingo, who stayed by her side until her very last breath.

She will be greatly missed.
