Debra Frisbie

Debra Frisbie, 71, of Cairo, GA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

She was born on July 15, 1955, in Victoria, TX, to the late Henry Thomas Stone and Alma Deane Snow Stone. A graduate of Victoria High School, Debra met the love of her life, Garlon Clark Frisbie, and they were married on March 17, 1973. Together, they built a life rooted in love, faith, and devotion, sharing 53 beautiful years of marriage. Debra worked faithfully as a bookkeeper for Open Door Adoption Agency in Thomasville for over 20 years, where her diligence and caring nature touched both coworkers and families alike.

Debra’s greatest joy in life was her family. She treasured every moment spent with her children and especially her grandchildren, rarely missing a program, play, or sporting event. She was their biggest supporter, their steady encourager, and their safe place. Being “Nana” was a role she embraced wholeheartedly, and it brought her immeasurable happiness. In quieter moments, she found joy in reading and in spending time with friends, including bowling in a local league where laughter and fellowship were always present.

More than anything, Debra will be remembered for the way she loved. She lived a life marked by selflessness, always putting others before herself without hesitation. Her kindness was sincere, her forgiveness came easily, and she had a remarkable ability to see the good in everyone she met. Throughout her life, wherever she attended church, she faithfully served in children’s ministry. Whether teaching Vacation Bible School, caring for infants in the nursery, or leading children’s programs, she found great joy in sharing God’s love with the next generation. She never sought recognition or praise—serving others was simply who she was.

Debra’s life was a quiet testimony of faith, compassion, and grace. She had a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a love that asked for nothing in return. Those who knew her were blessed by her presence, comforted by her words, and strengthened by her example. Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy lives on in the family she cherished and in the countless lives she touched through her unwavering love for God and for others.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Garlon Clark Frisbie of Cairo, GA; her children, Charity Beasley (Micah) of Cairo, GA, Samuel Frisbie of Cairo, GA, Timothy Frisbie (Esthefani) of Thomasville, Christopher Frisbie (Jami Lyn) of Thomasville, Melody Parker (Shane) of Thomasville, Jakob Frisbie of Cairo, GA, Luke Hammond of Cairo, GA, and Nicole Stevens (Chris) of Texas; her beloved grandchildren, Madison, Benjamin, Robert, Christian, Ella Rae, Layla, Jack, Emma, Charlotte, and Ava; two cherished great-grandchildren, Willow and Amelia; and her siblings, Fay Hill (Dave) of Johnsonville, TX, Nancy Keehner (Kermit) of Illinois, and Thomas Stone (Debbie) of South Carolina.

A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at The Beloved’s House, 222 Gordon Avenue, Thomasville, Georgia. Family and friends are invited to gather as they celebrate Debra’s life, her unwavering faith, and the lasting legacy of love she leaves behind.
