Deborah was known for her kind heart, loud laugh and playful sense of humor. If she joked with you, she liked you. Deborah found joy in preparing meals for those she loved. Her banana pudding and jambalaya will always be family favorites. She was a graduate of Bevill State Community College and also majored in Psychology and Art at the University of Alabama. She enjoyed the company of others and meaningful conversation. She never met a stranger and took time to listen to those around her. She was affectionately called “mama” by all her childrens’ friends. Her legacy was reminding others that no matter what happens, they were always enough.
Deborah was preceded in death by her parents, Dean Moles and Nancy Faye Ernsberger (Don); her sister, Neana Shell Johnston; her Grandma and Grandpa Lee; and her late husband, Thomas Nix.
