Deborah "Debbie" Lois Witte passed away on March 16, 2025, at the age of 70, at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, MS. After fighting a lengthy battle of multiple serious health conditions, her family is saddened but relieved she is no longer suffering and is pain free. She was a loved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

Debbie had a passion for any and everything related to planting flowers. She was truly blessed with a green thumb and it showed in the hard work she put into her beautiful flower beds and potted plants. She loved decorating and could make even the most humble of abodes stylish on a budget. Before her health decline, she was employed as a deli worker at a local grocery store and became quite the cook at home also. Debbie was a dog lover, especially of the small dachshund breed, owning several "weenie" dogs in her later years.

She is preceded in death by her father, Louis "Rabbit" McInnis, Sr and youngest brother Robert "Bobo" McInnis.

She is survived by her son, Jack DeWayne McInnis of Petal, MS; daughter, Cindy (James) Bondurant of Byhalia, MS; mother, Jewel McInnis of Raleigh, MS; sisters, Shirley (Paul) Hall of Mt Olive, MS; Jackie (Alfred Jr) Sullivan of Raleigh, MS; Carol Rogers of Oak Grove, MS; and brother Louis McInnis, Jr of Houston, TX.

Debbie will be remembered at a small, intimate gathering for close family at a later date. Her son and daughter plan on scattering her ashes in places meaningful to both of them.
