Debbie L. Patrick

Debbie Lanora Patrick, lovingly known as “Mimi,” passed away on Friday, March 28, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee, at Vanderbilt Medical Center.  Debbie was a devoted homemaker whose greatest joy in life was caring for her family. She will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and the deep love she poured into every moment spent with her children and grandchildren. Being “Mimi” was her proudest role, and she embraced it with unwavering devotion, kindness, and grace.  She was preceded in death by her mother, Theiry Greathouse, and her brother, Allen Greathouse.  Left to cherish her memory are her beloved son, Robert Patrick and his wife Kari of Smithville; her sister, Andra Pedigo and her husband Tim of Smithville; and her seven treasured grandchildren: Topanga, Kobe, Braxton, Keirra, Westlyn, Jessie, and Luka, all of Smithville. She is also survived by her dear nieces and nephews: Seirra and (Joseph) Hummel, Terra and (Patrick) Cunningham, and Seth and (Amanda) Pedigo, along with extended family and friends who will miss her deeply.  Debbie’s legacy is one of love, family, and quiet strength.  She touched the lives of many through her compassion and selflessness, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.  Funeral services will be 11 AM Monday, March 30, 2026, at DeKalb Funeral Chapel with Bro. Chris Moore officiating and burial will follow in Bethel Cemetery.  Visitation will be Sunday 3 PM until 6 PM and Monday 9 AM until the time of the service at 11 AM.  DeKalb Funeral Chapel is honored to care for the Patrick family.
