Deborah “Debbie” Kay Jenkins Williams, 62, of Leavenworth, Kansas, passed away on August 4, 2025, in Kansas City, Kansas. Born on November 13, 1962, in Leavenworth, she was raised on her parents’ farm, where her love for nature and her free-spirited “hippie” soul first took root.
Debbie was known for her warm heart, her easy laughter, and her love of simple pleasures. She enjoyed spending time with those she loved, sharing conversations, and playing cards—especially her favorite game, rummy.
She is survived by her beloved daughter, Kaylie Williams Gambers; her mother, JoAnn Jenkins; and her sister, Connie Jenkins Beers. She was preceded in death by her father, Clarence Jenkins.
A visitation to celebrate Debbie’s life will be held on Friday, August 15, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Davis Funeral Home in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Debbie’s kindness, humor, and free spirit will forever be remembered and deeply missed by those who loved her.
