Born January 19, 1958, in Clifton, Deborah, the daughter of Chesley and Elve (Harbour) Mathis, grew up in China Spring, where she attended local schools and graduated from China Spring High School in 1976. After graduating, she proudly served in the United States Air Force, demonstrating her dedication to her country. Her commitment to service continued in her career as a surgical dental assistant, where she spent many years contributing to the health and well-being of others. On December 24, 2009, she was united in marriage to her cherished husband, Clifford Wayne Harris, in Energy, Texas. Together, they built a loving life filled with shared adventures and joy. Deborah was an active member of Pettit Baptist Church, where her warm spirit and kind nature touched the lives of many. Throughout her life, Deborah delighted in antiquing, traveling, and sewing. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family-especially her beloved grandchildren, whom she adored.
