Deborah Holley Snow, born on March 14, 1951, in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, passed away peacefully on December 12, 2025, in Carrollton, Kentucky, at the age of 74. Throughout her life, Deborah embodied dedication and a strong work ethic, effortlessly transitioning through various roles from a devoted stay-at-home mom to engaging in factory work and managing retail establishments. In every endeavor, she brought her utmost commitment, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know her.

Deborah was known for her love of diverse hobbies, which included crocheting, fishing, go-kart racing, gardening, and swimming in rivers and oceans. These interests brought her much joy and rendered her a vibrant spirit among family and friends. Her passion for life was evident in everything she pursued, making her a cherished presence in the lives of those around her.

In her community, Deborah was particularly proud of her involvement with the American Legion Auxiliary, where she demonstrated her unwavering support for veterans and their families. Her commitment to service and community was a testament to her character and will be fondly remembered by many.

Deborah is survived by her loving husband, Melvin "Randy" Snow; her daughter, Bessie (Michael) Howard of Carrollton, Kentucky; her sons, Richard (Jenny) Southworth of Carrollton, Kentucky, and Carl (Christy) Southworth of Springboro, Ohio, her brothers,  Wendall (Lori) Kinman of Carrollton, Kentucky; and Gary (Joy) Kinman of Hanover, Indiana; nine grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Their lives are now enriched by the warmth and love she so generously shared.

Preceding her in death were her father, Emmett Kinman; mother, Bessie Thomas Kinman; sister, Betty Dusch Marsh; and sisters Connie Jean Kinman Owen, along with siblings Paris Dusch, Louis Dusch, and Tommy Kinman, as well as one great-grandchild. The absence of their beloved Deborah leaves a profound void that will be deeply felt by all.
