ARITON…Mrs. Carolyn Moore Peavy, a resident of Ariton, died Monday morning, August 11, 2025, in Oakview Manor Healthcare Center in Ozark. She was 88.
Graveside services will be held at 1:00 P.M. Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at Universalist Cemetery in Ariton with Reverend Roy Turner officiating. Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home of Ozark is in charge of arrangements. The family will receive friends following the graveside service.
Mrs. Peavy, born to Adam Clinton Moore and Flossie Mae Carothers Moore, was born in Gastonia, North Carolina—a place that shaped her early years with the love of family and the values of hard work and kindness. Though she started her life in North Carolina, her heart found its true home in Ariton, Alabama, where she moved in 1949 and built a life full of love, faith, and quiet strength.
She spent many years working as a seamstress at Van Heusen in Ozark, and she took great pride in her craft. Her hands were skilled and steady, stitching not just fabric but care and dedication into everything she made. Whether it was a shirt for a stranger or a hem for a friend, she worked with patience and precision. Her work wasn’t just about sewing—it was about providing, creating, and contributing to her community. She was a former member of the Ariton United Methodist Church.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, L.J. Peavy of sixty-one years, with whom she shared a life of love, laughter, and partnership. Their bond was one built on mutual respect and deep affection, and she carried his memory with her always. She also mourned the loss of her sisters, Margaret M. Simard and Dorothy M. Posey, and her brothers, Junior Moore, Leamon Moore, and Joe Moore. Each sibling held a special place in her heart, and their absence was felt deeply.
She also grieved the passing of her brothers-in-law—A.B. Peavy, J.W. Peavy, and Jim Peavy—members of a family that meant the world to her.
Surviving relatives include her sister-in-law, Nancy Peavy Whilden, Ozark; several nieces and nephews.

Deborah Reynolds, a beacon of love and faith, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2025, in her hometown of Dothan, Alabama, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on January 17, 1959, to George and Earline Boykin, Deborah’s early life in Dothan set the stage for a lifetime of compassion, achievement, and devotion to her loved ones.
A proud graduate of Dothan High, Deborah excelled academically, graduating with honors in 1977. Her intelligence and beauty led her to a brief modeling career, a chapter of her life that saw her grace and poise shine brightly. However, her heart remained in Dothan, and after living in Ohio for 15 years, she returned to her roots in the early 90s, where she would remain for the rest of her days.
Deborah’s Christian faith was the cornerstone of her existence. She began each morning with the sacred ritual of reading her Bible, drawing strength and guidance for the day ahead. Her deep faith was evident to all who knew her, as she lived a life of selfless service, always putting others before herself.
Her passion for life was matched by her love for her family. She is survived by a loving and grateful family, including her son, Demetrius Boykin; daughters, Dewanda Turner and Chenoa Peterson; and her cherished grandchildren, Kennedy, Kayden, Zavannah, Jatayvious, Jesta’ro, Zeniquah, Dorrian, Skye, and Wesley. Deborah’s legacy also lives on through her siblings, Jerome, Gregory, and Leslie. She was preceded in death by her devoted parents and her siblings, Isac, George Jr., Janas, and Oscar Boykin.
A woman of many interests, Deborah found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid fan of the television show NCIS, and her spirit came alive with the thrill of dance. Her good heart was not just a personal trait but a gift she shared generously, especially with her beloved children and grandchildren. Deborah’s enthusiasm for Alabama football was infectious, and game days were always a special time of togetherness and celebration for her family.
Those who knew Deborah will remember her as loving, faith-filled, and selfless. She was a woman who gave without expecting anything in return, and her impact on the lives of those around her was profound and lasting. Her kindness and generosity knew no bounds, and she will be remembered as a true servant of God, always ready to extend a helping hand and a warm smile.
Deborah’s life was a testament to the power of love and the strength of family. As we bid farewell to this extraordinary woman, we take solace in the knowledge that her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us. Her memory will be cherished, her lessons remembered, and her love felt forever in the hearts of those she touched.
A celebration of Deborah’s life will be held at 2pm on Saturday, August 16th, 2025 at Sunset Funeral Home with Tiffany Blackmon Trailer officiating. She will be laid to rest in the Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery.
