Debbie graduated from Garland High School in 1978. She later met Clifford Scott who became the love of her life. They were married August 25, 1979 having over 46 wonderful years together. Debbie loved all things Disney and was always collecting Disney items. For their 25th wedding anniversary she and Clifford went on a Walt Disney Cruise, which was Debbie's dream vacation. They would spend weekends together going to movies, walking around the many Malls in the area, and loved going fishing together. But their favorite activity was going to the huge Canton Market. They would spend the entire day checking out the many booths and wide variety of items for sale.
Debbie began her long manufacturing career working for Boenig making airplane parts. Later she was employed by Lebanon Aircraft Manufacturing, and finished her career with Sahara Aviation making parts for Chinook helicopters. She retired in 2023 after 27 years.
Debra was a Baptist and loved hearing her grandfather, Rev. C.F. Cloud
preach. He was a Baptist minister for most of his adult life.
Preceding her in death were her hero and loving father, Charlie Cloud. Also fraternal grandparents Charles F. and Lillian May Cloud, and maternal grandparents William "Bill" and Nina Bell King. Other family members waiting for her were Uncle Noel and Aunt Alma King, Uncle "Bob" Robert D. King, and Uncle Earl Hunt.
Surviving family members include her husband Clifford Scott who will truly
miss her love, devotion and companionship, and her loving mother Nell Cloud whom she took such great care of the past several years. Also surviving are her Aunt Mary Hunt of San Angelo, TX and Aunt Phyllis King of the Austin area, along with 8 cousins and their families.

Plano, TX Sunday, January 11, 2026 Debra “Debby” Scott was a woman whose love radiated quietly but powerfully, touching every life she entered. For 46 beautiful years, she shared an extraordinary marriage with her devoted husband, Scott—a bond built on unwavering loyalty, gentle humor, and the kind of deep companionship that comes from truly knowing and cherishing one another. Those who met them together, as I did through the Honor Flight community, could not help but be moved by their example of enduring love.Debby lived with grace and quiet strength, leaving behind a legacy of kindness that will continue to echo in the hearts of her family and friends. She is now at peace, reunited in heaven with her beloved father, a faithful Baptist preacher whose sermons once filled the air with hope and whose guidance shaped her life. What comfort there is in knowing she rests in the arms of the Lord she loved, welcomed home by the father who first showed her the way.
To Scott, as he walks this difficult path forward while tenderly caring for Debby’s dear mother, Nell—please know you are not alone. Your love for Debby was a gift that will sustain you, even in the quiet moments of grief. May you and Nell both find solace in the promise of eternal reunion, drawing strength from the certainty that Debby is whole, joyful, and surrounded by light.
Our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers are with you both. Debby’s light continues to shine through the love she shared and the lives she touched—including mine.
With sincere sympathy and respect,
Laurie Payton
