Debra was born on December 8, 1965, in Mansfield, Louisiana to Newton Temple and Lois Ann Woodard and passed away peacefully August 19, 2025, surrounded by her loving family in Shreveport, Louisiana after a sudden illness.

Debra had a heart of gold. She literally put everyone ahead of herself and loved with her whole heart. Her generosity was boundless, if she was invited you better believe she was coming and would always be the first one there. Debra’s family was her life; she loved to travel and was always up for a new adventure. She would say “Just Let Me Know” just let me know sister what I need to do.
