Griffin; her daughter, Theresa A. Griffin; her granddaughter, Tasia Griffin; and several brothers and sisters.

Deborah was married to Lonnie J. She was a devoted homemaker who had the opportunity to travel to many places, including Alaska and Guam. No matter how far she traveled, home was always where her children were. Throughout her life, Deborah lovingly cared for many children who were not her own biologically, yet she loved them as if they were. Through this boundless love, she gained two additional sons, Mr. Ronald (Yoshika) Dixon and Mr. Daniel (Shantel) Darrien, who will miss her dearly.

The family would like to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, kind words and calls. There will be no service as we respect the wishes of our mother. We would like to say thank you Mom for everything as we smile, laugh and cry at the life long memories we’ve shared. May your journey be smooth and the stars guide your way. We love you.
