eflections of ife

Along the road of suffering, you found a little lane that took you up from hurting and ended all your pain. You may be out of sight; We may be worlds apart; But you are always in our prayers and forever in our hearts.

Debbie Rena Scales

was born on May 16, 1962 to the late Floyd and Helen Ruth Glass Scales in Memphis, Tennessee. Debbie has always had a loving and fun personality and was spoiled unconditionally by her parents and siblings as well as other family and friends. Their love they had for Debbie was unsurpassable.

Debbie gave some much to everyone without expecting anything in return.

Debbie was brought up in a Christian home and accepted Christ as her personal savior at an early age and joined Robinhood Lane Baptist Church under the pastorate of Rev. Eugene Cochran where she remained a member until her demise.

Along with her parents, Debbie was also preceded in death by her sister, Ms. Carol Scales Watson and her niece, Ms. Renee Anne Scales.

Debbie made her transition and received her wings on November 15, 2016 at Methodist Hospital-Germantown surrounded by her loving and devoted family. She leaves to cherish her memory, five sisters, Angela Barksdale, Lorethea “Rita” Knox (Shelton), Pamela Scales- Fourtney (Lesly), Gina Scales -Johnson (Jackie) and her loving baby sister and devoted caregiver, Tonya Scales., four uncles, nine aunts, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and dear friends.

“People who face life with passion encourage others to live their lives with spirit”.
