Deborah Lipscomb Obituary

Deborah Marie Lipscomb, 64, passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 29, 2025. Born on March 14, 1961, in Baltimore, Maryland, she lived life fully and on her own terms.

Deborah's passion in life was rescuing animals in distress. Without hesitation or concern for her own safety, she was even known to stop traffic to help injured animals. She nursed them back to health and found fur-ever homes for them – many times in her own home! Rescuing animals was her calling in life and it brought her much joy and satisfaction to help God's little creatures.

Deborah is survived by her loving fiancé Daniel Gomez, mother Shirley Lipscomb nee Monfredo, brothers Bob, Steve and Sean, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father, Robert E. Lipscomb.

A celebration of Deborah's life will be held on Sunday, January 18 at 10:30 am at Wilna Seventh-Day Adventist Church 1010 Old Joppa Road, Joppatowne, MD 21085. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Paws4ever (https://paws4ever.org/donate/) to help carry on her life's mission.

Sending prayers to Debbie's family for comfort and peace for such a terrible loss. Deb and I went to high school together and I certainly will never forget her. That smile and that energy. She definitely brightened every room she entered.

So sorry that she has left us so soon. May she rest in peace with the angels above.
