Deborah Deloris County

Deborah Deloris Richardson County was born April 20, 1953, in Mobile, Alabama to Virgie and Lee Richardson Sr., and passed away June 28, 2026, at age 73. Growing up in Mobile, Deborah had an infectious smile, an outgoing personality, and natural beauty which led to her crowning as Junior Miss Hillsdale High School Queen in the 1965-66 school year.

The family moved to San Antonio, Texas where she attended Phillis Wheatley High School and later graduated from Lewis W. Fox Academic & Technical High School in 1971. Deborah completed her educational studies at Durham Business College in 1973, then entered the workforce at Sears, Roebuck, and Co. as the Assistant Lead in the maintenance Agreement Department.

Her most important accomplishment was the dedication of her life by baptism to Jehovah God in 1972. She served as a devout and faithful witness throughout her life.

Deborah married Stanley County in 1973. From their union, four daughters were born: Kimberly, Kamika, Kishmiel, and Katiah.

Sweet like the cakes, Lil Debbie cared deeply for her family and animals alike. She was known as a beloved Doggie Mom, ushering countless Poodle breeds to loving homes. As a devoted “Grandma,” Deborah loved spending time with her grandkids – playing, dancing, cooking, eating, and junking in the pickup truck.

Deborah was preceded in death by her parents, Virgie and Lee Richardson Sr. and sister, Margaret Richardson Vaughn. Celebrating her life and cherishing her memory are her daughters, ten grandchildren: Jaylin, Madison, Mikayla, Mason, McKenzie, Major, Terrell, Kanem, Rylan, and Reagan; three brothers: Lee A. Richardson Jr., John J. Richardson, and Rayford D. Richardson; one sister, Katrina L. Richardson; half-brother, David Pettway and half-sister, Bernice Thomas; along with a host of relatives and friends.
