Deborah was born in Germany on Sept 17, 1963, to Larry and Sharon Clemons.
Her greatest love was for her Lord, Jesus Christ, who helped her through many difficult times and saved her from a life of alcohol and drugs. She shared that love with anyone who came in contact with her and many were blessed.
She had a beautiful smile, a great sense of humor and enjoyed joking with family and friends. Her favorite colors were pink and purple and she had a love for anything with butterflies. Deborah had a creative mind and great decorating skills.
She is survived by her mother; children, Alicia Collett and Chris Collett; brothers, Keith (Tracy) Clemons and Larry (June) Clemons; and her sisters, Ethel (Mike) Craft and Elizabeth Clemons; aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father (Larry Clemons) and son, (Michael Clemons).
In addition to her family, Deborah had many friends who loved her and were loved by her. She also had a love for cats and leaves behind her faithful companion, Sami. She will be greatly missed by all.
A special thanks to Bill W who has also been an important influence in her life.

You will be greatly missed. Who’s Awesome? You’re Awesome!
What a beautiful pic of Deb! I miss her a lot. Even with the sandwich full of crap life dealt her with the cancer, she handled it better than most people would. I’ll never forget the laughs we shared. I was her elder sister by 2 weeks and am very glad she graced my life. Cleve, you’re right, she’s awesome! Thanks for adopting Sami. She loved her kitty and cared for you dearly.
It was an honor to be your friend. Rest in Peace, sweet Deborah.
Deborah’s cat Sami. And, crawfishing with pink nails.
Ive never wrote one if these before but feel compelled to do it. I knew deb since we were teens. Deb was handed a mess to deal with from birth. She overcame. No matter what life handed her she beat. It seems when she finally came into her own life it was taken..my only relief is that she will Never feel the pain life handed her. Rest in paradise deb.
