Debra Kay Faulkner

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Debra Kay Faulkner (née Williams), a loving mother, grandmother, cherished wife, and devoted sister.

"Debi" was born on January 5, 1957, in Birmingham, Alabama, the daughter of Charles H. Williams and Virginia Williams (née Cook) and was blessed to be deeply cared for by her stepmother Ann R. Williams. On June 21, 1975, she married the love of her life, David Charles "Chuck" Faulkner.

Her life was defined by her love and dedication to her family, especially her children. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to ensuring her children thrived in every way. Her greatest joy came from witnessing their accomplishments and celebrating their successes. Debi greatly enjoyed creating memories with her family during vacations to locations such as the Great Smoky Mountains, Walt Disney World, camping at Fort De Soto Park, and various cruises around the Caribbean.

Debi is survived by her loving husband of almost 50 years, David Charles "Chuck" Faulkner, three children including Kristen Jernigan (Joseph), David Christopher Faulkner (Megan), and Steven Kyle Faulkner (Sara), two grandchildren Kyla and Colton, two beloved sisters Joyce Williams and Donna Raymond, and several nieces and nephews.

Her love will remain forever in our hearts.

A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at 1pm, Gentry-Morrison Funeral Home, Serenity Gardens Chapel, Lakeland, Florida.
