Debra was a proud graduate of Homer High School and later attended Ayers Business School. After many years of dedicated service, she retired from Louisiana Bank and Trust. In June of 1990, she married Jerry Charles Stone, and together they shared countless cherished memories.

She was crowned “Miss Beautiful” in high school and carried that beauty in her spirit throughout life. She loved shopping, dining out, and most of all, time with family and friends. Known for her vibrant personality, she brought joy to every moment. She was an enthusiastic backyard badminton player and proudly claimed the backyard badminton championship from her husband, Jerry. Fiercely independent, she faced life’s challenges with grace and determination. Her strength, love, and resilience will forever be remembered.

Debra was preceded in death by her parents, Barger and Gladys Mc̳Kenzie, and her husband, Jerry Stone. Left to cherish her memory are her son, Scott Merritt; grandchildren, Haylee Montoya, Justin Bolen, Derek Stone, and wife, Rachel; Sydney Cade with her husband, Joe; and great-grandchildren, Indee-Rose, Amelia, Olivia, and Lucy; and sister, Sandy Crisler. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
