Debra Kay Elliott

Debra Elliott entered heaven on February 16, 2025 after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. She was wrapped in the arms of our Lord as she joined the many loved ones who preceded her in heaven. Oh what a celebration that must have been. 

Debra was dedicated to family and friends, especially her sons and their families. Debra cherished every moment with the 4 grandchildren who knew her simply as GiGi. She is survived by two sons Tyson Sparks, wife Kelly, and Cody Marlow, wife Julia, and 4 grandchildren Kaden Sparks, Jaxson Sparks, Noah Marlow and Nina Marlow, Sister Teresa Matheny, Brother-in-Law Jerry Matheny, Brother Vance Elliott and stepbrother Rhandy Simmons. 

She was preceded in death by her Mother Billie Ruth Ranson, Father Ray Wood Elliott, and Sister Billie Rae Elliott. 

From a career military family Debra traveled throughout her youth settling in Garland, Texas where she attended Garland High School. She loved playing sports, listening to music and of course dancing.

Debra’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and friends. She was a devoted mother, GiGi, sister, and friend. While she will be deeply missed by all we look forward to seeing her again one day. 

A celebration of life will be held on March 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Charles W. Smith & Sons Funeral Home, 2925 Fifth Street, Sachse, Texas, where family and friends can share and celebrate memories of the warmth and love she shared with everyone she touched.
