Deborah was a revered math teacher at Newport High School, Boone County High School, Conner High School, and Gateway Community and Technical College.

Her hobbies included quilting, solving puzzles, basket making, attending live theater and musical performances, and traveling. Deborah was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Pep, and her parents, Eddie and Loretta Smith. She is survived by her loving children, Jamie and Steve (Kelly), favorite grandson Issac, and brother Marc Smith.
