Debra Ann Stairs, age 55, of 113 N. College St., Red Springs, NC, passed away on April 14, 2019.

Born Debra Ann Walsh on February 26th, 1964, she was raised in the town of Millbury, Ma, where she met her husband, William Stairs, also of Millbury. They married on October 3rd, 1986 and moved to North Carolina shortly thereafter. Debra was a devoted wife and mother who raised a family of three boys while faithfully supporting her husband’s career as a soldier. From being left at home with three boys in diapers during Desert Storm, to wrestling with those three boys in high school during Iraqi Freedom, she made sure her boys did well in school and were raised in the best home that she could make for them. She loved her family very much and was always happiest when they could all be together.

Debra didn’t just help keep a family for nearly 35 years, she also kept up a career at Walmart, working in several stores throughout the region where she was a dedicated employee who loved her co-workers and was loved by them. She also worked several years with her husband at Straighten-Up Orthodontics in Raeford, NC, where she enjoyed the camaraderie of a close-knit team. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Debra was preceded in death by her father John Walsh. She is survived by her husband William, her son Ryan, an aerospace engineer and student of astrophysics, and his fiancé Stacie Jaynes, her son Alex, a tattoo artist, and his wife Dylann, and her son Zachary, a career soldier currently serving in Afghanistan. Debra is also survived by her mother Colette Walsh, her sister Diane and her husband Chris Pickett, her sister Donna Raad, and her brothers David and Derek Walsh. She was a loving aunt to ten nieces and nephews.

Debra was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in February of this year, and despite the competent and caring efforts of numerous medical professionals, the disease could not be stopped. The family asks that you not only pray for Debra, but also pray for all those who are challenged by cancer.

Arrangements for cremation and a memorial service will be made by Crumpler Funeral Home in Red Springs, NC pending Debra’s son’s return from Afghanistan.

Services for the family are entrusted to Crumpler Funeral Home, 220 East 4th Ave, Red Springs, NC 28377. Condolences to the family may be made at www.crumplerfh.com

I am now working with Lafayette Funeral home as part of their aftercare and pre need program. I am honored to serve the families of Fayetteville, Red Springs, and the surrounding counties. It is a calling, not just a business, to care for people in their deepest time of grieving. I am working with families during the grief process and to help them plan ahead for what their ultimate wishes are. I am going to be hosting my first seminar next week. It's called The Help, The Hope, and The Honor of pre planning. We will discuss funeral planning options, and funeral financing choices. We will also answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in attending, we will begin at 6:30pm. Thursday evening March 14, at Redemption Church. We will be serving a tasty meal as well. There is no cost for attending, and you will leave with some great planning tools and valuable information. Please let me know if plan to attend so that we may plan meals accordingly. This will give you opportunity to reduce the emotional trauma and stress during the time of need. You can assure your wishes are carried out, in a manner you choose, and the financial burden will not fall solely on your family during that difficult time. I sincerely hope to see you there. - Bill Cavalier.
