Debra Jo Peters, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, was born on April 5, 1958, to the late Earnest and Inez Pigott. From an early age, Debra became a member of Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church and  later joined Wesley Ray United Methodist Church in Angie, Louisiana.

Affectionately known as "Deb" by many, she received her education at Wesley Ray Elementary and Varnado High School, graduating with the Class of 1976. Debra then embarked on the next chapter of her life by uniting in marriage with Andre Peters Sr., and together they welcomed Preshettia, Andre Jr, and  Andre'Nae, in addition to her bonus son, Dewight Peters. Her professional  journey included positions at Orleans Furniture Factory and American Fabric, where she showcased her talent for home decor and design. Debra had a deep passion for caring for the elderly in her community and cherished the time spent with her family and friends.

After returning from Clarksville, Tennessee, Debra moved to Mississippi to be closer to her son and devoted daughter-in-law, relishing every moment with her grandchildren and her beloved dog, Dolla. When her health began to decline, she chose to reside at Woodland Village Nursing Home, where she  frequently expressed joy about the activities shared with her new family and friends. Deb was never shy about offering spiritual encouragement to her loved ones, often  sending warm texts and reminding them that it was "God's Grace"-her favorite  gospel song-that sustained her.

Renewed and restored from her earthly journey, Debra peacefully entered her   final rest on May 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving children and family.

Debra was preceded in death by her husband, Andre Peters Sr; her parents, Earnest and Inez Pigott; her paternal grandparents, Will and Louaner Pigott;  her maternal grandparents, Ceasar and Lottie Myers: her godparents, Robert  and Catherine Brown; her father-and mother-in-law, David and Annie Speights; as well as her brothers, Willie Ray Pigott and Irvin Pigott Sr.; her sisters, Minnie Stacks, Vander Brumfield, and  Louanner Spikes; her brothers-in-law, Micheal  Hines, Benjamin Peters, Reginald Robinson, and her sister-in-law, Karen Hines; along with her nephew, Irvin Pigott Jr.
