Deborah Dechabert Hinnant

Deborah Diane DeChabert Hinnant was born August 23, 1952 in Harlem, New York. She was the second child of Ralph Henry DeChabert. and Audrey Elizabeth DeChabert. Known as Debbie to her close friends and family, she attended elementary through High School throughout New York City. With a true passion for fashion & cosmetology, "Miss Debbie" furthered her talents and attended cosmetology school. As she proceeded to work in retail throughout the early years of her life, Debbie found art and nature as her inspiration to prevail in fashion. Living near Central Park in Harlem, Debbie found joy in using nature as her muse to direct photo shoots with friends and family. Natural scenery inspired her to re-create clothing and become a true fashionista - coloring, drawing, crafting, crocheting, designing and giving everything "a look" is what we remember Debbie for.

With the most infectious smile, Debbie enjoyed activities such as skating as a way to keep her outside in nature - She would skate through central park and the city and be inspired by nature. Although she was born and raised in the city, she did not let its brick and mortar limit her. She found and loved nature wherever she was and wherever she went. Debbie was a devoted community member, she would continuously use her time to volunteer. Debbie attended Church regularly at Christ Tabernacle Church and took on spirituality as a way to build character and live a peaceful life.

We remember Debbie for being the sweetest, most delighted, and one classy woman who showed loyalty and love to those around her. Debbie will remain one of the sweetest souls to have touched our hearts.

As Debbie grew older she devoted her life to her two children Audrey “Audee” Elizabeth Hinnant and Dyrrel “DASH” Alexander Hinnant.

Debbie is survived by her lifelong partner Ernest “Scotty” Scott, her son Dyrrel and daughter Audrey, her grandchildren -- Camren Hinnant, 9; Ny’lah Hinnant, 8; I’mere Reddick, 6; and Schi’la Hinnant, 1, her brothers George Ralph “Frenchie” DeChabert and Steven Ralph “Wink” DeChabert, as well as other family members and dear friends who will mourn her loss, but revel in the love and memories that are her legacy. Deborah was predeceased by her brother Albert Ralph “Albie” DeChabert and her sister Barbara Anne DeChabert.

Deborah was well loved and will be truly missed. May God forever hold her beautiful soul.
