Deborah Lou
Rigsby
Apr 7, 1955 — Aug 2, 2023
Deborah L. (Ward) Rigsby "Debbie" passed away peacefully at home on August 2, 2023. She was born on April 7, 1955 in McArthur, Ohio. Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, James Edward Ward and Lucille Mae (McGhee) Ward; her Brother Jimmie Lee Ward and Granddaughter Rachel Mae Stites. She is survived by her true love of 55 years (and husband of 51), David Rigsby, her Daughters, Deidra (Ric) Noland and Deanna (Joseph) Stites: Grandsons Marcus (Alexis) Stites and Dillon Noland: Great-Grandsons Mallyk Rey'den Wynn and Jackson Stites and Brother, Terry Lynn Ward. Anyone who knew Debbie also knew of her obsession with Pepsi, fast cars (NO ONE could beat her off the line), friends and family (especially her family). Birthdays and holidays were her favorite. She encouraged violence by financing numerous Nerf and potato gun wars. Debbie attended Hilliard city schools and retired from the Midland Insurance company after 30 years, where she received several awards including "Employee of The Year" and proudly managed her own department. She was... kind, compassionate, caring, generous, encouraging, selfless, sympathetic, warm, understanding, sincere, gullible as ever, AMAZING, and she will forever be missed.
