Deborah Short Obituary
Debbie loved being a mom, grandma and wife. Her family was the most important thing to her. She loved animals. She loved to tell stories of bringing home strays before she had kids to care for. She loved to do people's hair and get to know them in the process. She was kind, extremely generous and loved people well. Above all, Debbie loved Jesus and shared his love with the people around her.

She is preceded in death by her parents Warren and Clella Jacks and sister Marie Jacks.
