Debra Lennice Hale's Obituary
Debra Lennice Hale, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on October 26, 2024, in Alexandria, Louisiana. Born on March 1, 1960, in Leesville, Louisiana, Debra was known for her vibrant spirit and unwavering love for her family.
A devoted mother to four sons—Chris Hale (Vanessa) of Anacoco; Chad Hale (Melissa) of Hicks; Johnathan Hale (Christina) of Springtown; and Joshua Hale (Brandi) of Alamogordo—Debra poured her heart into raising her boys with strength and compassion. Her legacy lives on through them and their children: Taylor, Samantha, Logan, Elise, Isabella, Zack, Cyrus, and Noah. Each grandchild held a special place in her heart as she cherished the moments spent together.
Preceded in death by her loving husband Melton Lynn Hale and granddaughter Kylar Hale.
Debra faced life’s challenges with resilience. She was an active force within the community who found joy not only in nurturing those closest to her but also in sharing kindness with others. Whether it was camping under starlit skies or crafting beautiful creations from simple materials at home or during visits to senior homes where she brought laughter to elders’ faces through games and companionship.
Her creativity knew no bounds; Debra had a unique ability to transform ordinary days into extraordinary memories filled with warmth. She loved working outside amidst nature's beauty.
Family gatherings were always lively affairs thanks to Debra's infectious energy that drew everyone together around shared meals or storytelling sessions filled with laughter echoing long after they ended. Her tough exterior masked an incredibly loving soul whose hugs could heal wounds unseen.
