Mrs. Debra Jean "Sis" Albritton

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Debra Jean Sims Albritton, affectionately known as “Sis” or "Debbie," who left this world on May 5th, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on September 20, 1961, in Atmore, Alabama, Debbie was a beacon of love and compassion, whose life was dedicated to caring for others. Debbie spent her life in Booneville, Alabama, where she created a home filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. She was a pillar of strength for her family and friends, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Debbie was a devoted wife to her beloved husband of 43 years, Steve Albritton, of Booneville, Alabama, and a nurturing mother to her three children: Ryan (Leslie) Albritton, of Booneville, Alabama, Kyle (Haley) Albritton, of Spanish Fort, Alabama, and Jessica Albritton, of McCullough, Alabama. Her legacy continues through her four cherished grandchildren, Brea Rolin, Hudson Albritton, Allie Albritton, and Jocee Terhune, who brought her immense joy and pride. For 37 years, Debbie served as an exceptional nurse, a profession that perfectly aligned with her compassionate spirit. Her dedication to her patients and their families was evident in every interaction, as she approached her work with kindness, empathy, and unwavering commitment. Debbie’s impact on the lives she touched will be felt for generations to come. Debbie had a great joy for cooking and baking, collecting antiques, and tending to her flower beds. As we remember Debbie, we celebrate a life beautifully lived — a life marked by love, service, and an unwavering commitment to those around her. She will be deeply missed, but forever remembered in the hearts of all who knew her. Rest in peace, Debbie. Your light will continue.
