Debra Ann was born on December 2, 1954 in Dallas, Texas. She was a 1973 graduate of H. Grady Spruce High School. She spent her high school days as a member of the Sundancer Drill Team and went on to pursue a career in Human Resources and Payroll with National Cheerleader’s Association/Varsity Spirit Fashions for 24 hardworking and dedicated years.

Debra was a loving mother, an endearing wife, daughter, sister and friend. She loved the Lord and was passionate about her time she spent in worship. Debra was also generous, funny, loving and she could light up any room when she entered it. Her siblings and children remember fondly how she loved the old TV show, "I Love Lucy." She could quote verbatim many, many funny lines from the show followed by her hearty laugh.

She would expect us to celebrate her life and give all praise to the Lord. She will always be in our hearts and will forever be loved, missed, and our lives will never be the same.
