Debbie Coffman was a woman who lived a full life — not a perfect life, but a meaningful one. She spent over 45 years as a nurse, giving her time, her heart, and her strength to people who needed it most. It wasn't always easy, and it wasn't always appreciated, but she kept showing up. That's who she was.
Before the world got heavy, she was wild and free — riding motorcycles as a kid, camping under the stars, racing across lakes like she had the whole world ahead of her. She had a spark inside her, and even when life wore her down, that spark never fully went out.
She was tough. She was stubborn. She was brave. She made mistakes — like we all do. But underneath it all, there was an unshakable goodness in her. She loved in her own way — fiercely, imperfectly, but with everything she had to give.
She taught me strength, even when she didn't know she was teaching it. She showed me what it means to keep going, even when life doesn't play fair.
Her life wasn't about being perfect. It was about being real. It was about getting back up, again and again, no matter how many times she got knocked down.
I'm proud of who she was. I'm proud of where I come from. And I'm proud to carry her spirit with me, in every fight, every triumph, every quiet moment when the world demands more than it should.
Debbie was preceded in death by her mother and father, George and Creta Stennett, Sister Jonhnell Ethridge and Brother Bobby Stennett.
