Born on November 11, 1954, in Linden, Texas, Debra was the cherished daughter of the late Otha Lee Epps and Blanche Qualls.

After relocating to Houston, Texas, she dedicated herself to education, becoming a permanent substitute teacher for the Houston Independent School District (HISD).

Debra’s life was enriched by Reverend Byron C. Stevenson, the Senior Pastor and Founder of The Fort Bend Church in Sugar Land, Texas. As well as her time as an Eastern Star.
