Debra Watson, born April 26, 1954, entered into eternal rest on September 15, 2025. She was the cherished daughter of Clara Kate Jordan and Charlie Jordan, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her brother Billy Jordan and her husband, Dan Watson.
Debra’s life was defined by her love for family, kindness, and strength. She is survived by her brother Rusty Jordan; her sisters Frances and Drena; and her beloved children, Mary Todd, Derna Todd, Micah Todd, Charlie adamson, Isaiah Todd and Troy Todd She also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will forever treasure her memory.
Debra had a gentle spirit and a heart of gold. She found joy in the simple things—spending time with her brother Rusty, watching TV with her faithful dog Maggie, enjoying peaceful days at the beach, and riding horses. More than anything, she loved being surrounded by her children and family, who were the center of her world.
She will be remembered as a devoted mother, sister, and friend whose love, laughter, and strength touched everyone who knew her. Though she is gone from our sight, she will never be gone from our hearts. Her legacy of love and compassion will continue to live on through her family.
