As well as many more nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who she leaves behind.

Debbie was a hard worker. She worked at DPM in Booneville. She also worked at Booneville P.D. for a few years. Debbie then worked for the Logan County Sheriff's Office; where she worked for several years, as a Dispatcher/Jailor, until she retired to become a caregiver for her parents.

Debbie enjoyed helping people and caring for her family and friends. She loved to golf when she was able. She loved to go out dancing with friends. Debbie enjoyed sports; the Arkansas razorbacks basketball games. Debbie's happiest moments were family time. She was always watching her Great Niece play softball on the phone, when she couldn't be there in person, and cheering her on. Debbie enjoyed being "Gigi" to her grandchildren; especially playing words games together and watching Cooking/Home renovation shows on the TV. Music was also a love of hers; sitting around with her family and singing songs and just enjoying time together. She loved to wake up with a fresh cup of coffee every morning.

Debbie was part of the graduating class of 81' from Magazine High School. Debbie was a member of the Magazine Methodist Church. Debbie's heart was overjoyed when she knew, that the Mattie Cravens Women's Circle, was helping children and families with anything they needed.

In honor of Debbie's love and compassion for others. The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Mattie Cravens Women's Circle at the Magazine Methodist Church. For more information on that, please contact Donna Robinson.

Debbie will be cremated, and a Memorial Service will be held at a later date. That date and time to follow in the coming weeks.
