Debra Hill Sprouse, 63, passed away on July 27, 2026, just one day before her 64th birthday.
Born on July 28, 1962, Debra was preceded in death by her parents, Earl Joseph Corn and Shirley Faye Corn.
She is lovingly survived by her children, Ashley Deanna Hill, John Steven Sprouse, and Stephanie Lynn Sprouse (Donavan); her cherished grandchildren, Kamden and Nolan; her siblings, Russell Corn (Robyn), Gina Naomi (Kerry), and John Corn; her beloved dog, Piper; along with many extended family members and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory.
For more than four decades, Debra dedicated her life to the field of cosmetology, where she touched countless lives and built lasting friendships. She had a creative spirit and found joy in painting, singing, and dancing. She had a deep love for all animals, especially her beloved dog, Piper, who brought her endless companionship and happiness.
Above all else, Debra was a devoted mother. Her children were her greatest pride and the center of her world. She leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and kindness that will never be forgotten.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she has found the peace she long deserved. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
A private graveside service was held with her immediate family at Green Hills Cemetery to honor and celebrate Debra’s life.

Thank you. I appreciate you. I love you.
She was also my older brothers GF at the time
Where she went I went
Where I went she went
I will never forget those days
Best ever !
Her family was so kind to me.
I remember dancing in the family room to the jukebox without a care in the world
Except to make sure our hair and makeup was perfect
Of course I will never forget the color that Ms Shirley put in our hair -unforgettable
The pics are worth a million
We were twins for sure
Great times!
And the Halloween costume
Teresa , Betty, Debbie and myself
We looked just like KISS
Debbie was an artist. She sure taught me a lot about that talent she had
But I was no comparison to her work
I thought of her often through the years
And tried to connect by stopping by a shop I was told she worked at, she was off that day.
I will always think of her often
I am so sorry for your loss
Rest In Peace my friend. God needed a new Angel and choice you. Happy graduation day.
Her smile could light a room, I will miss her and pray for her family.
I hate to hear this, Debbie and I went to school together, she done my hair for a little while, we have been friends for sometime. Always a sweet caring person. Prayers for her family and friends. RIP …
