Debra Carpenter, daughter of Lonnie D. Berryhill and Caroline Hester Coutant Barnes, was born on July 28, 1961, into a family that provided her with a great treasure—five siblings to love and cherish. Debra, who passed from this life on September 11, 2020, is survived by three children; Melissa, Christina, and Zachary; three sisters, Carolee Marr and Johnny Henson of Franklin, Tammi Abrahams and Christopher Sutton of Great Meadows, NJ, Edith Dayton and husband Michael of Stedman, NC; and her brother, Bud Berryhill and wife, Barbara of Monroe City, Missouri. A number of grandchildren, nieces, and nephews also survive. Debra was predeceased by her parents and a sister, Melody Berryhill. Debra was a hugger who loved to make people smile. She was generous and had a personality that helped her to make friends easily. She genuinely cared about others and no matter what her circumstances were, she tried to make the day brighter for someone else. Debra loved being outdoors. A perfect day for her would include being able to see God's handiwork in both the beauty of the sunrise and the sunset. As most children who lived through the 70s, Debra was a fan of classic rock and country music. Her zest for living, despite her physical limitations, was shown in many ways as she always strived to be as independent as possible. She was quick witted, funny, and a joy to be with as evidenced by her many friends. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Moffitt Family Funeral Care is honored to serve Debra's family. Online condolences may be made at www.moffittfamilyfuneralcare.com
