Deborah Douglas
Deborah Anne Douglas, 58, of Ringgold, Georgia, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, April 15, 2017 in preparation for Easter.
She was born in Chicago, to the late Edwin and Mildred Schmook, but had lived in the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas for most of her life. She was a valued member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church where she was active as a SundaySchool Teacher and was involved with the Youth Programs. She was currently employed with Memorial Hospital as a billing specialist going on 37 years and loved going to the beach, traveling to Gatlinburg and visiting relatives in Chicago. Her main passions in life were playing with her precious granddaughter, the love and care for her family and her work at the hospital. She was a loving and devoted sister, mother and “Mimi” who will be truly missed by all who knew her.
