Debra Jean Garrant, lovingly known as Debbie, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, at the age of 70 in Plattsburgh, NY. She leaves behind a legacy of generosity, warmth, and unwavering care for those she loved. She put others before herself throughout her life.

Debbie’s love and kindness was unmatched. These traits were very well known by anyone lucky enough to know her. She shared a very special bond with her dear grandson Jamey Garrant who had lived with her and stayed by her side until the very end. Their bond was unbreakable and filled with joy. The many cherished moments for us all will live on in all of our hearts forever.
She also leaves behind countless friends who she made feel like family. Again, her love and kindness were truly unmatched.
Debbie was a woman who continuously gave without ever expecting anything in return. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life — being with family and friends, cooking and sharing up comfort, cherishing old stories, listening to music, and like her big sister Angie, kicking back in her recliner with a Hallmark movie. Also, she had a beautiful God-given voice when she sang. Her greatest gift was the way she made everyone feel.

She was deeply loved and will be missed beyond words.
