She was born on October 02, 1951, to the late Otis and Mildred Dunn.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Linda Lewis; and her brother Otis Dunn, Jr.
Deborah was a devoted wife, great friend, and grandmother. She was a hard worker and in her younger years worked with children at daycare and afterschool care. She will be remembered as a magnetic presence and for the laughter she created.
She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Charles Phillips, Jr.; her daughter, Shannon Phillips and her husband, William Sherman; and her three grandchildren, Charleigh, Conner, and Caleb.
She will be put to rest in the Raeford City Cemetery at a later date.
