In loving memory of Debbie Pitts, we announce her peaceful passing on May 10, 2026, at the age of 105. Born on October 15, 1920, in the charming town of Charleston, Arkansas, Debbie was blessed with a long and meaningful life, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her. Debbie was the cherished daughter of John and Mary Smith, who instilled in her the values of kindness, resilience, and service to others. From a young age, her compassionate spirit and dedication to helping those in need were evident. This calling led her to serve her community as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), where she provided care and comfort to countless individuals during times of crisis. Her unwavering commitment to her work was a testament to her profound empathy and selflessness. Family was the cornerstone of Debbie's life. Though she did not marry, her legacy is carried on through her extended family, whom she loved dearly. Her home was always filled with laughter, warmth, and the aroma of her famous apple pie, a treat she lovingly prepared for every family gathering. Debbie was known for her vivacious spirit and infectious smile. Her friends and family will fondly remember her quick wit and the joy she brought into every room she entered. An avid gardener, she found solace and beauty in tending to her beloved roses, which flourished under her tender care. Throughout her life, Debbie exemplified resilience and grace, weathering the storms of life with an unyielding spirit and a heart full of love. Her centennial milestone was celebrated with much fanfare, a testament to the many lives she touched over the years. As we bid farewell to Debbie, we are comforted by her lasting legacy of love and kindness. Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. Debbie's life will be celebrated in a memorial service to be held at her family home, where friends and loved ones are invited to share their memories and honor her remarkable journey. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to a local charity supporting emergency responders, a cause close to Debbie's heart. We will miss you, Debbie, but your spirit will live on in the lives you've touched and the love you've shared. May you rest in peace, knowing you have left this world a better place.
