Our precious Debbie Jean Kirkpatrick, 68, of Hope passed away into the arms of our loving Savior on May 8, 2025, surrounded by her family. Debbie was affectionately known as Debbie K by her second family at Rainbow of Challenges in Hope, where she resided for the past 33 years.

Deb never met a stranger and communicated her sweet spirit to any and all whom she met. To the compassionate professionals at Saline Hospital, she would watch closely and say 'What You Doing?' or 'Bye, Be Careful'. Debbie was a talented singer and would often express her feelings through the music she enjoyed.

Deb is preceded in death by her father, Charles Kirkpatrick.

Deb is survived by her mother, Betty Kirkpatrick of Benton; sisters, Donna Kirkpatrick of Hot Springs and Denise Davis (Mark) of Bauxite; nieces, Carman Swart (Andy) of Ft. Worth, TX, Courtney Thrash (Coleman) of Austin, TX, Harmony Felts (Clint) of Castle Rock, CO; nephew, Hayden Davis of Sanford, NC; niece, Cali Wright of Hot Springs; seven grand nieces and nephews whom she called her babies, loving cousins, aunts, uncles, and a host of friends.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, May 11th from 5-7pm at the Regency Funeral Home Chapel.

Funeral Services will be held on Monday, May 12th, at 1pm at Regency Funeral Home. Burial to follow at Fairplay Cemetery.

Special thanks to the Saline Memorial Hospital ICU, Emergency and 4th Floor staff, nurses, and doctors.
