Dear Mom,

I just want to tell you how thankful I am that you were my mother. I’m so glad that God gave me to such a strong, caring, loving, and fun mother. You brought me into this world, and taught me and cheered me on in everything I did from day one. I know you will always be here for me in everything that I do. Pinky promise me that you will never stop guiding me. You are my world. No one could ever compare to what you have done for me. I love you to the moon and back. Thanks for always being so great!

Deborah was a kind and loving spirit who could make people laugh, but she could be straight forward as well.

She received her spiritual growth at the Olivet Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Kenneth Twigg Whalum, Sr. She joined the Youth Choir after baptism and continued to sing with the Celestial Voices years later. Deborah joined Olivet Fellowship as an adult where she served as a dutiful Ministry Assistant for many years. She was a dedicated employee at FED EX for over 30 years.

On Monday, May 27, 2019, Deborah Thompson-Chatman’s earthly mission was completed, and she was called home by her Heavenly Father. Her loving memories will be cherished by her only child, Olivia Chatman, her siblings; Donna (John) Simpson, Ola (Fabian) Crowe, and Kevin Ocie Thompson of San Jose’, Costa Rica. Deborah also leaves her two lovely nieces Alexis Crowe and Alyssa Crowe of Phoenix, AZ, along with a host of other family members and close friends. She touched many lives during her time on this earth.
