With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Debra Clarice Turner Swearington, who departed this life on September 26, 2025, just days after the loss of her cherished brother, Ivory Turner, Jr.

Debra dedicated many years of her life to working as a sitter, providing care and companionship to those in need. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering commitment to her work were a testament to her character.

A lover of life, Debra had a special fondness for the color emerald green, which mirrored her vibrant personality. She found joy in shopping, often delighting in the thrill of finding the perfect item. Music and movement were also close to her heart; she loved to dance and sing, bringing joy to gatherings and celebrations.

Earlier this year, Debra embarked on her first cruise, discovering a newfound passion for sailing and the tranquility of the sea. In her quieter moments, she enjoyed the challenge of crossword puzzles, often immersing herself in the joy of solving each one. Above all, Debra's greatest love was her family. She cherished her loved ones deeply, and her warmth and kindness will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A funeral service to celebrate Debra's life will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, located at 9151 LA-1, Lena, LA 71447.
