On Thursday August 21st my family and I received the news that my mother, Deborah Lynn Jaynes-White, had passed. Deborah was a mother to 8 children by blood, but her kindness and compassion was extended to any neighborhood kid who needed it.

Deborah is survived by the heart and pride she put into her children and grandchildren; Matthew Williams, Khristian Jackson and his two children; Emery and Stetson, Kaylynn Jackson, Ezekiel Jackson and youngest Grace Jackson. Also impacted by this are Deborah’s siblings, Diana Butler, Larry Butler, and her mother Sally Baker.

This is an incredibly difficult time to navigate for us all and due to the sudden nature of her death, family did not have time to mentally or financially prepare. Any and all donations will be going directly to memorial services, cremation, and keepsakes of our mothers ashes. Left over funds will go directly to aiding in care for the youngest and bravest of us all, 13 year old Grace Jackson.
