DEBRA KAYE RAMSEY

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Debra (Deb) Kaye Ramsey. She walked into His Heavenly Realm on November 06, 2026, in Roanoke, VA. She was born July 22, 1963, in Bristol, Connecticut, to her parents, Don Carrol Ramsey and Charlotte Ann Tabor Ramsey. She enjoyed crocheting all her life, was a big Rick Springfield-Rick Chick and loved Halloween. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings: Jennifer Ramsey and Leonard Ramsey; and her only son: Derek Anthony Sheppard.

She is survived by her two daughters: Kellie Sheppard Peck of Pounding Mill, VA and Rachel Layne Sheppard of Bluefield, VA; granddaughters: Nevaeh Shrader, McKennah Peck, Derebellah Peck and Braylon Sheppard; grandson: Derek Sheppard, Jr (DJ). She was a beloved Aunt to: Tabitha, Dustin, Donnie, Samual, Amanda, Tyler, Jordan, Joey (fiancé, Hannah), as well as her great-nephew, Scotty (son of Joey and Hannah). She had a grand-cat: Abigail, that she absolutely adored.

Her wishes were to be cremated, with her ashes being spread in the Bahamas. It was a favorite place and time in her life, having gone on a cruise in which Rick Springfield was there.

There will be a celebration of life for Deb, with the date to be announced in the future.
