daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and
friend, left this earth peacefully on October 24,
2005,at the Logan Regional Hospital, exactly four
years to the date her mother passed away. Debora’s
daughter Jamie, and grandson Jaytin were at her side.

K. and Rolane Walters Andrews. She was raised in

daughter, Jamie.
Debora and Jamie were not only mother and daughter but
they were also best friends. They confided in each
other and did a lifetime of things together. Debora
will surely be missed by all.
Debora was always a very hard worker. She worked for
Herff-Jones, Inc. for 22 years before having to retire
early because of health reasons.

animals, especially cats. If a sick or hurt animal
crossed her doorstep she would nurse them back to good
health and a lot of times would make her home theirs.

times was when she was fishing with her brother.
