Debra "Debbie" Kay Puckett

Deridder, LA - A Celebration of Life, honoring the life of Debra "Debbie" Kay Puckett, 62, will be held on May 17, 2025 from 11 AM - 2 PM at Fields Funeral Home. Debbie passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Hospital in Lafayette, LA. at 9:00 AM surrounded by her daughters following a brief struggle with esophageal cancer.

Debra, affectionately known as Debbie, was born on February 4, 1963, to Norma Clemons. Debbie was a huge fan of classic country music and some of her daughters’ fondest and most cherished memories of her are singing along to Loretta Lynn at the top of her lungs while cooking and cleaning the house. Debbie was a lover of being outdoors and soaking up the sun in the fresh air, whether sun bathing or tending to fruit and vegetables in her garden. Debbie will forever be remembered the most as the best “Maw” to her four grandchildren, who will miss her immensely.

Debbie is s urvived by her two (2) daughters: DaleRae (Ramie) Frederick and Amanda (Aaron) Darby; four (4) grandchildren: Gavin Lee Darby, Tonya Ann Trammell, Tori Rene Darby, and Baylee Ann Frederick; the father of her two children, Kenneth Lee Frederick. Debbie also leaves behind three siblings: Raymond (Betty) Puckett; Clyde (Terry) Puckett; Kenny (Sharon) Puckett; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Debbie is preceded in death by her first born daughter, Jennifer Puckett; her sister, Margaret Willis; and her niece, Beth Puckett.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to the medical staff who cared for Debbie in her final moments and were a source of solace to them in their time of need, and to all who have offered their love and support during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion have been a source of comfort and strength.
