Obituary
On April 20, 1958 a baby girl named Debra Ann came bouncing into this world to the parentage of Charles Henry and Lurlene Sanders. Final demised November 03, 2019 at Chi St. Vincent Hospital in Little Rock, AR.
Debra was a member of New Union AME Church, but regular attended church in McNeil, AR. with her granddaughters.
Debra was a 1976 graduate of Stephens High School in Stephens, AR. Debra’s life centered around her family and especially her grands, nieces and nephews. She taught them how to be tough and saved them from getting ‘Whoopings’. When she wasn’t able to save them, she would tell them to “Stand there, grit yo teeth and don’t cry.” She was the family’s protector. In her prime she would go from zero to a hunnad real quick.
