To all that knew her she was a joy to know and to
be with. She was my right arm, best friend and
companion for the last 12 and a half years and I am
missing her terribly.
She had endless energy, was always dedicated to
the task at hand, and never wanted anything left
unfinished.
I please ask that those who knew her and have
stories they would like to share about her please
email me with them as I build this page.
Deborah was born to Mary Francis and Frank
Nicholas Jacks in Abilene and has an older brother.
She attended Trinity University in San Antonio
Texas and Cooper High School in Abilene Texas.
Her parents preceded her in their deaths and she
has no surviving children.
About her eyes, she had gray green eyes and they
took on the color of whatever happened to be the
dominate color around her. It was about a year
before I figured out what was going on, it was
confusing to think they were brown one day and
then dark blue...I knew they supposed to be green,
but go figure?
When I first met Deborah, was while attending
middle school in Abilene, Texas. I had a friend who
lived at Dyess down the road from my parents
house on the base who sat behind me in some of
my clasess. We would bet on what she would be
wearing, after watching her for the half of the year
in the seventh grade. Her grandmother would make
her clothes I later found out, and she had a ton of
them. The red blouse and denim skirt she had on
was a favorite of mine, but I only remember her
wearing the combination in Jr High School maybe 6
times. The dog collars were fashion fad for a while
at the time.
Deborah was a member of Westminster Presbyterian
Church here in Abilene and asked that all and any
memorials to her be made to Meals on Wheels of
Abilene or her Church, as she did.
I will be posting more pictures of her as time goes
by and if you have any of her and want to share
them please send them.
She was laid to rest in the Waterfall Cremation
Garden in the Elliot Hamil Cemetery in Abilene
Texas alongside Hwy 277 on the 15th of August
2008.

Well it has been one year and half and it was
a day like it is today, gloomy and rainy, both
the day she passed and the day she was laid
to rest. Just wanted to share the flowers
that were placed the day she was laid to rest
, and an Image of the marker as it looks now,
as the cover originally placed was blank. The
white roses, they lasted almost 3 weeks,
Everything left since would only last about 5
to 7 days.
