Debra Elaine Graham

Ava, Missouri

Debra Elaine Graham, age 65, of Ava Missouri peacefully departed this life on Tuesday, December 2nd, surrounded by her loved ones.

Debra was born in Gainesville Missouri on July 14th, 1960 to Hervel Dean Graham and Helen Marie (Rippee) Graham.

Debra was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Lonnie Rippee of Ava, Missouri and her sister, Carolyn Graham Blevins of Gentry, Arkansas.

Debra is survived by her brother William "Billy" Graham, her 5 children, Randell Tetrick and wife Michelle Norris Tetrick, Danny Tetrick, Lisa Tetrick Graham and husband Keith Graham, Kellie Hunter Kingery and husband Rusty Kingery, Kayla Hunter Brown and husband Tim Brown, many grandchildren and several great grandchildren.

Debra enjoyed vintage collecting, yard sales, crafting and home decorating. One of her favorite pastimes was reading, especially true crime. Therefore it's fitting that she wished to donate her remains to forensic science research.
