Debbie Reeves Henson passed away on March 21, 2016, at home, after waging a strong battle against injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Debbie was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 12, 1954 and was raised in Roswell, Georgia by her parents Margie and Aubrey Reeves. She attended the Roswell Elementary School and graduated from Roswell High School in 1973.

Upon graduating from high school Deb worked in the Veterinary field then moved to the medical field as a medical assistant and office manager, until the time her daughter, Crystal, was born in 1983. After Crystal’s birth, Deb quit working to stay at home and raise her daughter. Deb’s strong faith, her caring, loving and compassionate spirit made her uniquely qualified to be a wonderful mother.

Deb was always a “Second Mom” to all of Crystal’s friends and often joked about getting a “Taxi” sign for her car.

One of Deb’s more passionate hobbies was her painting Jesus Christ and Angel ceramic figurines. Over the years she painted, she did sell a few in some local card shops, but she gave away many, many more. She said she just enjoyed blessing others with her figurines, as gifts.

Deb’s love of family, her peaceful and joyous spirit and beautiful smile will be missed by all of us.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Margie and Aubrey Reeves and her Sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Bobby medley. She is survived by her husband, Chris Henson, her daughter Crystal Henson and Grandson Gavin Prince, of Woodstock, her brother and sister-in-law Chris and Sandy Reeves of Canton, Georgia and a host of Aunts, Uncles nephews, nieces and cousins from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and California.

Her memorial service and Life Celebration were at the Lakeside Funeral Home on Highway 92, in Woodstock, Georgia on Saturday April 2, 2016, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. She was buried in the Old Roswell Cemetery on April 3, 2016 at 2 p.m., in Roswell, Georgia.

If people wish to make a donation in lieu of flowers, she would be honored to have you support The American Bible Society.
