Deborah Frisch Obituary

Deborah "Debby" Brown Frisch, 71, passed away on August 4, 2025. Debby was the beloved daughter of Shirley Heller Brown of Rancho Mirage, California, and the late Stanley Brown. She was a proud graduate of White Station High School, attended Louisiana State University, and earned her degree from Memphis State University.

A talented artist, Debby loved painting flowers and plants, finding joy in capturing their beauty until an injury ultimately prevented her from continuing her passion.

Debby worked at Southeast Managers, Inc., alongside her husband and family for many years until her overall health began to decline. She was a devoted and cherished daughter, wife, mother, and friend. Debby and her husband, Frank, shared over 51 years of happiness together.

Her family includes her children, Elliott Frisch of Norcross, Georgia, and Brandon (Catherine) Frisch of Germantown. She also leaves behind her brother, Mitchell Brown of Rancho Mirage, and five grandchildren, whom she held most dear.

Services were held on Tuesday, August 6, in the Sam Abraham Chapel at Baron Hirsch Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Baron Hirsch Synagogue – Sandwich Project, 400 S. Yates Rd., Memphis, TN 38120.
