Deboria Hignite

Debbie Ann (Dickerson) Hignite, age 71, of Grayson, Kentucky, peacefully departed this life to be with her Lord on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at her home, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on July 3, 1954, she was the cherished daughter of the late Murl and Adeline Hall Dickerson.

Debbie's professional journey began shortly after high school when she joined the Carter County Food Stamp Office. Her dedication and passion for helping others led her to a fulfilling career as a paralegal for Legal Services, under the guidance of Robert M. Caummisar. After many years of devoted service, she retired from the Phillip D. McKenzie Law Firm, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and commitment to her work.

A devoted member of the Grayson Church of God of Prophecy, Debbie found joy in her faith and community. She was a talented seamstress and crocheter, often creating beautiful gifts for her family and friends. One of her greatest joys was baking cookies with her beloved granddaughter, creating sweet memories that will be cherished forever. Debbie also shared a special bond with her shopping companion, Hannah McMillen, a friendship that blossomed since Hannah's birth and brought much joy to her life.

Debbie is preceded in death by her brother, Ted M. Dickerson Sr., and her sisters, Pamila J. Jelovic and V. Diana Sparks. She leaves behind her loving husband of 33 years, Mitch D. Hignite; her sons, Christopher L. Kiser and Robert M. (Jennifer) Hignite; and her precious granddaughters, Pamela L. Kiser, Kennedy Bowling, Kerington Hignite, Kadence Hignite, and Karoline Bowling. She is also survived by her sisters, Peggy Baker, Tammie Young, and Jenny (Toby) Carter, along with a host of family and friends who will miss her dearly.

Funeral services to honor Debbie's life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday at Malone Funeral Home, with Bro. Mark Griffin officiating. Burial will follow at the Dickerson Family Cemetery. Friends are invited to pay their respects from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Monday. Honored to serve as pallbearers will be Teddy Murl Dickerson, Ryhan Sharp, Jacob Carter, Charles Kouns, Devan Ray Satterfield and Derrick Hignite.
