Deborah Deann Warford, age 67, of Benton, Arkansas, passed away on January 21, 2026, at Saline Memorial Hospital.

Deborah was born on February 18, 1958, to Wayne and Linda Hutchison, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her husband Jerry Warford.

Deborah dedicated many years of her life to working for the Arkansas Department of Corrections, where she was known for her strong work ethic and commitment. Outside of work, she found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid reader, loved shopping, and took great pride in her flower gardening. Deborah especially cherished time spent socializing—she truly never met a stranger and had a natural gift for making everyone feel welcome.

She leaves behind her son, Justin Manning, and her cherished grandson, Greyson Manning. Deborah was also a devoted "Lolli" to Jaxtin Manning, whom she lovingly raised.

She is survived by her sisters, Katrina (Phillip) Ray and Sue (Danny) Green, along with her nieces and nephews Dylan, Katie, and Lindsey, and many great-nieces and great-nephews: Libby, Zack, Isabella, Keston, Sawyer, and Colt.

Deborah will be remembered for her warm heart, loving spirit, and the deep connections she made with family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service will be held to honor her life Wednesday January 28th, 2026 at Ashby Funeral Home at 1:00 pm.
