Someone described Dr. Price as a global humanitarian, singer, ordained minister, consultant and business owner. She was known as a grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and most of all, friend. She was someone you could call day or night and get an answer, she would laugh with you and cry with you, or even pray with you. Dr. Price was a frequent traveling companion to her cousin gospel artist, Douglas Miller, and often sang on a couple of his recordings. She spoke frequently with cousins, Sandy, Judy, Charlotte, and Barbara Sykes, sharing their testimonies of family memories.
Debbie attended Livingston Apostolic Church under the leadership of Elder James Gregory, she wore many hats, pastor assistant, Sunday school teacher, Bible bowl participant, and sang in the choir under the leadership of Katie Ellis. Dr.Deborah Price presently attended the First Apostolic Church under the leadership of Bishop Samuel L. Hampton ll. Deborah will always be remembered for her sense of humor, her humanitarian work, and her love for Jesus Christ.
