"Deb" was a kind spirited woman who did charitable work with those less fortunate though the mission and was known for her tireless dedication to those she served. She was also renowned as quite the "greenthumb" and loved her position as a gardener for Home Depot. Deborah was also fond of travel as her and her sister Pat spent much time together traveling across the globe with her military family to places such as California, Japan, and South Carolina. Above all, Deborah cherished her Elvis and those she knew.

She is survived by her sister Pat Parker; bestfriend, Beverly Mayo; Vernon Stumblingbear, who was "like a son to her"; nephew, Robert Parker and family; and countless more nieces and nephews.
