Debra Geneene Holman (Stink) was born June 16,1976 in Kansas City, Missouri to Carolyn Holman and Delbert Davis, who passed before she was born. She had 1 brother who preceded her in death Augustus Alfred Holman who she loved and missed dearly and one little big sister SumVenitta Ford who has been by her side to nurture her in every way that she could.

She enjoyed braiding hair, driving big trucks, and was known to be the percolator queen. She gave birth to her first child, Jasmine Holman, at the early age of just 15. She traveled from city to city as a celebrity hairstylist for a local artist at the time by the name of Tech N9Ne. She also worked at a few hair salons before eventually opening her own. She later had her second daughter Brooklynn Holman and Shortly after married her now husband Steven Ford. They later had 3 daughters; Ashlee, Chloe, and Stevie Ford.

She has 3 grandbabies; Meriah, Amari and Nova who loved their “NeNe” dearly because she was nobodies GRANDMA.

Debra opened her own youth program called “Open Door” where she took children to baseball games, the zoo, nature hikes, feed the homeless, and gave them motivational speeches on how to push through life no matter the circumstances until she herself had to walk through that “Open Door” to her final destination.

Debra is preceded in death by her father, Delbert Davis, her brother, Augustus Holman, and her grandmother, Fannie Davis.

Debra leaves behind her husband, Steven Ford; five daughters: Jasmine Holman, Brooklynn Holman, Ashley Holman-Ford, Chloe Holman-Ford, and Stevie Holman-Ford; her mother, Carolyn Carter; her sister, SumVenitta Ford (James Ford), a loving family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who she cared for dearly. No matter what they needed, she was there and now is the time for us all to be there as she goes to her final resting place.
