Debra Harris Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debra was a woman of warmth, style, and heart. She had a deep love for animals, was an incredible home cook, and found joy in music and shopping. She had a way of bringing light and comfort to those around her, whether through a homemade meal, a thoughtful gift, or simply her vibrant presence.
She is survived by her daughters, Vanessa (Tobias) Doughty and Natasha Harris; her beloved grandson, Baylor Doughty; and her devoted brothers, Larry (Mikki) Robinson and Frankie (Cathy) Odom. She also leaves behind her cherished dog Max, several loving cats, and many extended family members and friends.
Debra was preceded in death by her parents, Noah Lee Odom and Hazel Mott Odom.
A visitation and celebration of Debra's life will be held on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at Hughes Funeral Home, 26209 Pollard Road, in Daphne, Alabama. Family visitation will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by public visitation at 10:00 a.m., with the funeral service starting at 11:00 a.m. In honor of Debra's colorful spirit and her love of all things vibrant-especially the color purple-please feel free to wear your favorite colors to the service.
