I'm so sorry for your lost but I've been trying to reach out to Ms. Alice Wood. We established a great relationship when I helped her when she was stalled on the highway. I have not been able to contact her just expressing my concern. Please email me at MELODIECARTER 73@gmail.com.
To the Family of Deborah Woods Whitaker...I just learned, tonight, of Deborah's passing. Many prayers of condolences to you all. From Maggie L Walker High School ( and I think even back to G. W. Carver) I remember Deborah as a bright butterfly....always busy, always smiling. God bless you all and I see that she was still beautiful! Carolyn Hawley
My condolences to Deborah's family. We were members of the Moore Street Missionary Baptist Church Handbell Choir. May God comfort you at this difficult time. Brenda Mallory
I met Deborah through her work and service at Velocity Christian Church in Glen Allen. What a great pleasure it was to chat with her about her faith in Christ Jesus! She never complained and it was always so uplifting to see her on the front row each Sunday. Her victory was announced on January 14th at Velocity and the church family was very moved with vibrant memories of her ceaseless dedication to attend church and bible studies. I would often speak with her after church service, and she never failed to show her love and care for everyone. We will miss her greatly; she has won her race and earned her wings in heaven. Sam Turner,Sr.
Deborah was a true inspiration, she always demonstrated faith, strength and resilience to all our single mothers she served while volunteering at our Fresh Start For Single Mothers program at Velocity Church. We will miss her contagious beautiful smile. All our Love, Sympathies and Prayers, Sylvia Stewart & The Entire Fresh Start Team
