Mrs. Deborah Ann “Debbie” Barngrover, age 59, of Dahlonega passed away Wednesday, September 2, 2020.

Debbie was born in Rancho Cordova, California on March 23, 1961 to the late Robert and Vivian Morey Barngrover. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her sisters Kate Barngrover, and Joyce Roe, and brother Brian Barngrover.

Debbie was sweet and kind, and she loved to take care of people. Her passion to serve and reach beyond herself was seen in more than 40 years of her career at the Smith House Restaurant. Being both mom and dad, Debbie worked hard to provide for her daughter. Her long days and sometimes late nights spelled only love for her family. Her Smith House family was deeply loved by Debbie and they in return adored their manager and friend for many years. Debbie left this life with great anticipation to see and hold her first grandchild, and now she will watch care from her view from Heaven. 

Survivors include her daughter Jessica Barngrover, Dahlonega; sister and brother-in-law Becky and Ronald McElliot, Oregon; brothers Kenneth Barngrover, and Robert Barngrover, both of California; and several nieces, nephews and other relatives.

A celebration of Debbie’s life will be held Sunday, September 13, 2020 at the Pavilion at The Smith House Restaurant from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
