Debra Jean Stovall (Clark), 72, of Beverly, Kansas, passed away on August 20, 2026. She was born on May 6, 1954.

Debra was never meant to fit into a single category. In fact, she would have found the idea of a box rather boring. She was an artist, a musician, a mother, a Granny, a great-Granny, a sister, and an unapologetic free spirit. She was Far Out AbracaDebra, and for those who knew her, that was never just a name. It was her whole way of living.

Debra was the proud mother of Allen (Judy) Stovall and Dustin (Christen) Stovall, Granny to Damian (Angela), Chase (Sarah), and Ashley (Felix), and beloved great-Granny to 10 Great-Grand-Darlings. She was the daughter of Walt and Jenette Clark and sister to Duane (Edith) Clark, Diana (Greg) Daetwiler, and David Clark.

Debra worked for the USPS in Lincoln, Kansas, but her true adventures began after hours. Her days overflowed with art, music, animals, and whatever fascinating thing caught her eye. She loved teaching art and spreading her creative spark to others. As a musician, she welcomed any audience—two legs, four legs, feathers, or fur. If you were willing to listen, you were part of her show.

And then there were the critters. Debra rescued countless animals over the years, as if her heart had endless space for every stray, lost, or quirky creature she met. She offered them a home, a fresh start, and all the love they could ever need.

She had a knack for spotting the little wonders—a flower blooming in an unlikely place, a breathtaking sunset, a silly animal, a catchy tune, or a moment that sparked laughter. She found beauty where others might have missed it entirely.

Debra always knew exactly who she was. A hippie, a free spirit, delightfully eccentric, and unapologetically herself. She never bothered with fitting in. She blazed her own trail, made her own rules, and left the world a little brighter everywhere she went.

She leaves behind music, art, stories, rescued animals, laughter, and a treasure trove of memories. Most of all, she leaves behind people whose lives are richer simply because they knew and loved her.

So keep looking for the little things. Listen for the music. Stop for the sunset. Rescue the animal. Make something beautiful. Be a little weird. Be exactly who you are.

And when you find yourself doing any of those things, think of Debra and smile.

See you later, alligator.
