Deborah Kinder

It is with profound sadness that the family of Debbie Kinder announce her peaceful passing on Friday, September 25, 2020 at the age of 63. Debbie is a lifelong Cabot/Ward citizen and twirled her way to graduation in 1975.

Debbie was a pillar in our community as she was a Cabot Teacher for 39 years. Over those years she touched countless lives and had hundreds of “Kinder’s Kids”.

Debbie’s larger than life personality and spirit is what she will always be known for. Her smile was infectious and quite literally lit up the entre room. She was the kind of person you just wanted to be around and talk with.

Debbie never met a stranger and always went above and beyond for others. Her heart was larger than her body and she loved every person she knew fiercely. When she was not teaching, her pride and joy was her grandson, Parker. Parker and his DeeDee shared an incredible bond and love for Disney. Debbie never let a day pass without either seeing or talking to Parker.

Debbie’s passing will leave a huge hole in our community and the lives of everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her mother, Jo Ellyn Duke Moore, her son, Josh Kinder, her daughter, Jordan Kincheloe (Tyler) and her precious grandson, Parker Kincheloe. She is also survived by her sister, Renee Overbeck Apodaca (Manny) and niece Ashton Ramos (Jaime) and their daughters, Delilah and Daisy.

Visitation will be held 6:00-8:00 p.m. Tuesday, at Smith-Westbrook Funeral Home in Beebe. A public Graveside Funeral will be 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at Mountain Springs Cemetery in Cabot.
