Deborah Ann Lewis Maynard

A Memorial Visitation for Deborah Ann Lewis Maynard will be held Monday, November 16, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2500 Southside Dr. in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“Debbie” was born on September 6, 1950 to Babs and Doug Lewis in Homer, LA and passed away November 5, 2026, in Shreveport, LA. She raised her family in Natchitoches but resided in Shreveport for the last 27 years. Debbie, from a young age, had a love for the arts. Music was something that brought her joy and remained a special part in her life. Debbie had such a naturally creative mind and enjoyed expressing herself through painting. She also had a love for traveling, exploring new places and taking in the beauty of God’s creations. As she grew older, she dedicated 25 years of work and service to Havertys, where she built lasting relationships before retiring this past January. She enjoyed being surrounded by close family and friends and sharing memories and sipping coffee. But the moments she cherished most were those spent with all four of her grandchildren who held a special place in her heart and who she was proud to be their “Mimi.”

She is survived by her daughter, Jill Maynard New and husband, Patrick, of Stonewall LA; and son, Clint Maynard and wife, Carla Maynard of Keithville, LA: four grandchildren, Payton Maynard, Clayton Maynard, Emma New, and Parker New; one sister, Marsha Johns and husband, Larry; and one brother, Steve Lewis and wife, Connie; one niece and three nephews.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Doug and Babs Lewis and Kenny Maynard.

The family would like to thank the team at Christus Hospice and Garden Park Nursing home, especially sweet McKayla, for the exceptional care, compassion, and dignity she received towards the end of the progression of her illness.

Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church of Haynesville.
