Obituary

Debbie Renee Derden Cook, 58, of Panama City Beach, Florida passed away from this life surrounded by her loved ones at home on October 30, 2022. She was born to Jerry and Peggy Derden on March 9, 1964, in Stuttgart, Arkansas. She graduated from Stuttgart High School in 1982 and went on to study Fashion Merchandising at South Central Career College where she earned her Associates Degree in 1983.

 

Debbie had a talent for interior design and fashion. She enjoyed decorating homes and businesses. She was an avid shopper who relished spoiling and styling others. Debbie was a true beauty whose smile could light up a room. She competed in pageants growing up and later went on to compete in Mrs. Arkansas where she made the Top 10 while receiving the Platform and Pageant Excellence awards.

 

She loved to travel, listen to live music, and watch football. Her free spirit and fun personality made it easy for strangers to become friends. Eventually some of those friendships grew to feel more like family. She leaves behind many whose lives she has forever touched.

Survivors include her husband of 32 years: Eddie Cook; three children: Lane and Josh Williams of Jonesboro, AR, Holdan and Mallory Hargis of Sherwood, AR, and Braci and Logan Edmonson of Fort Smith, AR; Her father, Jerry Derden of Cabot, AR; seven grandchildren: Abby, Jayce, Lola, and J.J.
