Debora Jean Pinkard was born on June 6, 1961 to the parents of Barbara Pinkard and Morris Jones in Dallas, Texas. Throughout her life she embodied strength, compassion, and unwavering love for her family. She was a devoted wife, incredible mother, and a woman whose warmth touched everyone who knew her.

She dedicated many years of her life working in the healthcare field, where her natural compassion and caring spirit allowed her to serve others with kindness and dignity. Even after retiring, Debora never stopped caring for people, especially those she loved most. Family was the center of her world. She was a proud mother of three children (Nicholas, Nemia & Lanesaia) and three adopted children (Tony, Amari & Ambria). Debra believed that family was not just about blood but about love, loyalty, an showing up for one  another.

Debora found joy in the simple but meaningful moments in life playing cards, laughing with family, sharing stories, and making sure everyone around her felt cared for and supported. Her presence brought comfort, her laughter brought light, and her love created a bond that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Those who knew her knew she was a woman of resilience. She carried herself with grace through life's challenges and always put her family first. She was a guiding light, a protector, and a source of wisdom for her children and loved ones. Although our hearts are heavy with grief, we take comfort in knowing that her legacy will live on in the lives she touched, the love she gave, and the family she nurtured so deeply.
