Debra Lynn Downey

Debra Lynn Downey, 55 of South Pittsburg, TN went home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 20th, 2021 in a local hospital.

Debra was born in Chattanooga, TN, raised in Trenton, GA, and graduated in the 1984 class of Dade County High School. She was a Christian and was a talented care giver for many years. Debra enjoyed going for rides in the county and relaxing on her float at the lake. Being at the lake was Debra’s happy place and she loved every minute they spent there. Her passion in life was her son Haven whom she loved dearly.  Debra had a big personality; she was always bright, happy, and friendly. She never met a stranger and will always be remembered for her willingness to help anyone. Debra is deeply loved and will be dearly missed.

Debra was preceded in death by her father, Frank Thompson and mother, “Red” Wooten; brother, Danny Derryberry; uncle and aunt, William and Joy Derryberry.

Survivors include her husband of 26 years, Jimmy Downey, II; son, Haven Dakota Downey; parents-in-law, “Pop” and “Gram” Downey; siblings-in-law, Tommy Downey, Ronnie (Liz) Downey, and Pennie Downey; 13 nieces and nephews; and a host of extended family members.
