Debbie was born on November 13, 1959, to Bernice and Carolyn Rogers. A lifelong resident of Louisville, Mississippi, she was a devoted member of Good Hope Baptist Church, where she found great joy in singing in the church choir and sharing her faith through music.
She was a loving wife to Bennie Mac Joiner for 48 wonderful years and a devoted mother whose greatest joy came from her family. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren — Jackson, Jett, Will, Judson, Ava, and James Haven — who brought endless light and laughter to her life.
Debra was a dedicated employee of the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine and also worked for many years at Sylvester’s, where she was known for her kindness and hardworking spirit.
She will be remembered for her gentle heart, her unwavering faith, and the love she shared so freely with everyone who knew her.
Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Bennie Mac Joiner; and children, Charlie Mac Joiner (Lindsey) and Cassi Chancellor (Bart) all of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Granna” to her six grandchildren: Jackson, Jett, Judson and James Haven Joiner and Will and Ava Chancellor. She is also survived by her mother, Carolyn Hurt Rogers; and her brother, Don Rogers (Rebecca).
She was preceded in death by her father, Bernice Rogers; and her mother and father-in-law, Charlie and Nellie Joiner.
