Debra Gail Thomas

It is with profound sadness yet a sense of gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Debra Gail Thomas. Born on June 28, 1955, in Pineville, Louisiana, Debra was a ray of light in the lives of many, a woman whose spirit shone brightly and touched the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known her. Her vibrant personality was as radiant as the earthtone colors she loved, reflecting her grounded nature and love for life.

Debra's life was a testament to selfless service to others. In her career as a Registered Nurse, she extended her kind heart and healing hands to countless patients, embodying the essence of compassionate care. Debra's passion for helping others didn't end with her professional life; she was also an active member of the City Choir, touching people with the harmonious blend of her melodious voice. Away from work, Debra had a love for the simple pleasures of life. She found joy in playing Bingo, the mental challenge of Sudoku and word puzzles, and the friendly competition of a good game of Scrabble. She also had a fondness for shopping, always finding the perfect item to brighten up her day or to gift her loved ones.

As we mourn the loss of Debra, we celebrate the wonderful person she was and the remarkable life she led. We invite you to join us in honoring her life. A public viewing and visitation will be held at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 11 16th & Day Streets, Alexandria, Louisiana, 71301, on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 10:00 am. The funeral service will follow at 11:00 am at the same venue. Her final resting place will be at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 4000 Monroe Highway, Ball, Louisiana, 71405.

We encourage those who were touched by Debra to share their memories and upload photos to her memorial page. Let us remember Debra not with tears, but with the joy and warmth she brought into our lives, the lessons she taught us, and the love she shared with us all.
