Debbie was born June 3, 1948. She grew up in Thomaston in her mom’s (Mildred deceased) beauty shop and even had a hair dryer there named after her. She shared her Dad (Barney deceased) with two younger brothers, Terry (Melody) Bowles of Peachtree City and Tootsie/Jerry (Janis) Bowles of Thomaston.
Debbie had a lifelong love of shopping and enjoyed visiting her cousin Teresa (Ashley) Benton and family often, especially for their neighborhood fireworks.
She graduated with a Masters degree in Business from Jacksonville State University and was the Financial Aid Director at Flint River and Griffin Technical Colleges.
Debbie loved her children, Stacy Becerra and Candace (Jared) Streetman of Thomaston. She delighted in planning Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings with games and more food than could possibly be consumed.
Debbie was fun, adventuresome, smart, creative and had a big heart. During retirement, she took great joy in quilting and shuttling grandchildren, Trent Coker and Reese Streetman, from school to their sport activities where she loudly rooted them on.
She met her husband, Paul Williamson, mid-life and he cherished her as she so deserved. They enjoyed church, camping with friends and vacationing with family.
Debbie was a devout Christian.
Private family services will be held Saturday, February 13, 2021
