July 5, 1964 - March 7, 2026
Debra Lynn (Downs) Callahan, lovingly known as Debbie, passed away on March 7, 2026.
Debbie was born on July 5, 1964 in Paris, Arkansas to her parents Norris and Earline (Peugh) Downs. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Eric, and a loving mother to her children: Derrick and Ashley Callahan, Brittney and Josh Larrison, and Felecity and Justin Habel. She was an amazing sister to Melinda and Lisa as well.
Debbie found joy in the simple things in life. She loved gardening, shopping on QVC, getting lost in a good romance novel, and most of all cooking or baking. She treasured the time she spent with her family. Her children meant everything to her, and her grandchildren were truly her pride and joy.
She was a proud grandmother to Brittney's children: Gage, Payzlee, and Halen; Derrick's children: Brynna, Cooper, Jace, Mackenzie, and Rylan; and Felecity's children: Damon, Ryker, Farrah, and Beckett. Debbie was also blessed with a great-grandchild, Lainey.
Debbie will be remembered for her loving heart, her devotion to her family, and the warmth she shared with those around her. Her memory will live on through the family she loved so deeply and the many lives she touched.
Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 a.m., on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at Roller Funeral Home Chapel in Paris officiated by Hastings Cale. Burial will follow in Mt Pisgah Cemetery near Magazine under the direction of Roller Funeral Home in Paris.

Our prayers for peace and comfort during this time. Debbie was a dear friend to me and hadn't talked to her in a while. I didn't know she was sick. Many regrets for not keeping in touch with her. My heart goes out to you all. She loved her family so very much…

Debbie has always been a great friend of mine.
When I moved to AR as a teenager she was one of the first friends that I made....that friendship lasted throughout the years of getting married ...having kids working together and then we both had grandkids. She was a true friend.
I know when she moved I lost touch with her.
Just know she will be sadly missed.
Sincere condolences to her family.
