Deborah Kay (Cornell) Cornelison

Deborah Kay Cornell Cornelison, 64, of Ringgold, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, January 26, 2021.  Born to the late Eric Jay Cornell and Nelda Jean Cornell in Cheverly, MD, she had been a resident of Ringgold for the last 40 years.  Debby was a long-time resident of North Georgia; she graduated from Chattanooga Valley High School in 1975.  Thru the years Debby worked in the accounting departments of several companies: O’Neal Steel, P&S School and Office Supply, and lastly Siskin Steel and Aluminum.
