Mrs. Crawford was born July 11, 1955 in Delhi, LA and passed away May 14, 2025. Debbie was a lady who embraced life. She never met a stranger. If she did not know you at first, she knew you when she left you. In her earlier years, she had worked at nearly every convenience store in Coushatta. She also previously worked at Ware Youth Center as a cook. Debbie had a real compassion for the youth there, as most of them had lived a troubled life.

She eagerly made her daily trips to Chevron for her Diet Dr. Pepper and bacon and for the few days she might miss, they always wanted to know where she was. She had a passion for shopping, especially at Nichols. She also loved the nail salon, which she frequented.

Debbie was very disciplined, especially in her Christianity. She loved her church family and instilled in her grandchildren the importance of reading the Bible and praying.

Of all of her pleasures, the one she treasured the most of was being a “Nanny” where she was affectionately known as “Deb Deb.” She was “Grammy” to her grandchildren and great-grandchild. Her love for her family and others was endless and she will be missed beyond words.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clifton Ray and Ruby “Dot” Thompson; and mother-in-law, Hilda “B.B.” Crawford.

Mrs. Crawford is survived by her loving husband, Charles “C.C.” Crawford; children, Daphne Bohannon and husband Sean, Will Vaughan and wife April, and Clay Vaughan; nine grandchildren, Karley (Brandon), Zach, Jacob, Destiney, Darcey, Christian, Bryce, Lexi and Hunter; one great-grandson, Keaton; sister, Peggy McCoy; two brothers, John Wallace Thompson and wife Suzanne and Bennie Ray Thompson; special nieces and nephews, Shane Edward Cook and Serenity Cook as well as a host of other nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Shane Edward Cook, Shane Raley, Todd Raley, Blue Young, Joe Hays, and Kyle Wren. Honorary pallbearers will be Mike Young, J J Wilhite, John Lindsey, Jimmy Williamson, Rusty Welch, and Patrick Murray.

The family wishes to express a special thanks to Dr. Wyche Coleman, Dr. Sarah Herbel and the nurses and staff of Christus Coushatta Health Care Center and Dr. Ralla and the doctors, nurses and staff of Christus Highland.

In lieu of flowers, the family request memorials be made to Holley Springs Southern Methodist Church, 2745 Hwy. 507, Coushatta, LA 71019 or the American Cancer Society.
