Debra Lee (Lang) Smith went home to be with the Lord on August 16th, 2022. Debbie spent her life serving others. There wasn't a person she couldn't talk to and there wasn't a job she wouldn't do to help someone in need. Debbie loved the Lord and she loved her family. They were her world.
Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Anthony D. Smith, her daughter, Rachel M. Greenwall, her grandchildren, TJ Greenwall, Courtney Greenwall, Dylan Wells, Whitney Carroll, and her great-grandson Coltyn Steven Timothy Carroll as well as her siblings, Tammy (Rick) Grimes, Chris (Roy) Reese, Danette White, and Daniel T. Lang as well as many nieces and nephews, too many to list! She was proceeded in death by her son Stephen Gary Greenwall, her parents, Daniel and Jean Lang, and her great-granddaughter Carsyn Marie Greenwall.
Memorials may be given in Debbie's honor to the Missionary Grove Baptist Church in Camden Tennessee for their building fund which she had a passion for. Isaiah 57:1&2 - The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! II Corinthians 5:8.
