Deborah W. Boggs

Deborah W. Boggs, 73, of Pickens, passed away on January 7th, 2026.

Debbie was born in Atlanta, GA to the late Sidney A. White & Nell Beck (Lemon). She was raised in Griffin, Georgia, then later moved to South Carolina to pursue her education.

Debbie earned her bachelor's degree from Central Wesleyan College, laying the foundation for a meaningful career. For over 30 years, she dedicated her life to teaching elementary school, shaping the lives of countless children with her passion for education. Debbie’s warm spirit and nurturing nature left a lasting impact on her students.

Debbie was a member of Keowee Baptist Church and devoted many years to serving on the Six Mile Town Council. In her retirement, she committed much time developing her God given talent of watercolor painting. What began as a hobby, led to her becoming a commissioned artist who loved sharing her gift with family and friends. She produced many beautiful works of art that reflected her vibrant personality, many of which can be found around homes, businesses, and restaurants across the southeast.

Debbie’s proudest accomplishment was her family, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment.

She touched the lives of many and will be remembered for her kindness and dedication.
