She loved spending time at the beach and by the pool. Her green thumb was evidenced by her adored flower beds, where she spent countless hours tending to blooms that reflected her vibrant personality.

She was proudly involved with her church community, where her love for children flourished. Working with the children during Vacation Bible School filled her heart with joy, as she encouraged their curiosity and nurtured their spirits. Her commitment to serving others was an inspiration, and her laughter and caring nature enriched the lives of many.

Her talent for decorating and her ability to manage finances kept their home beautiful and running smoothly.

Deborah is survived by her husband, Bill Meyer; her sister, Diana Martin (Eddie), of Stanton, TN; and several dear nieces and nephews who will forever cherish the memories they created together. Preceding her in death were her beloved parents, Billy Yvonne Cheatham and Louise Landreth Cheatham.
