Debra Marie (Cullers) Lam, 69, of Rockingham, VA, set eyes on her last earthly sunset and joined the presence of her Lord and Savior on April 1, 2024.  We rejoice as Debra gained her Angel Wings and entered her Heavenly Home.

Debra was born August 20, 1954, in Harrisonburg, Virginia to the late Norman Brown Cullers and Hazel Marie (Orebaugh) Cullers.

She graduated from Broadway High School in 1972. Mrs. Lam was a homemaker.  She had a passion for puzzle books, her pets through the years, and Civil War novels and history.

Debra was preceded in death by her high school sweetheart, James B. Lam, Jr., whom she was united in marriage September 2, 1972. Mr. Lam preceded her in death on February 22, 2019.

She was also preceded in death by Sister, Rita Fay (Cullers) Dove (Mathias, WV) and Brother, Randy Brown Cullers (Hinton, VA).

She is survived by Sisters, Donna Darlene Cullers of Rockingham, VA; and Barbara Cullers Miller of Singers Glen, VA.

Also surviving is Brother-in-Law and lifetime friend, Larry F. Dove of Mathias, WV, and Brother-in-Law and chauffer, Charles L. Miller of Singers Glen, VA.

Surviving are Nieces April Eavers of Mt. Clinton, VA, Katie Frank of Timberville, VA, and Chloe Cullers of Dayton, VA; Nephews Franklin Dove of Mathias, Clint Runion of Rockingham VA., Wesley Runion of Bridgewater VA., and Andrew Frank of Luray, VA.

She also leaves a best friend, Brenda Rexrode. They had met during Debra’s illness, but they soon became best friends/sisters and had immense love for one another.  So, a special Thank You to Debra’s friend and caretaker/companion, Brenda, who was Debra’s rock through her final year of struggling health.  Debra called her “Sunshine”. She indeed brought love and sunshine to Debra each day!

Debra has been an inspiration and testimony of endurance and faith as she fought a hard and courageous battle with her health struggles. She never lost her Faith in her God with her worldly doubts and struggles.

Debra’s favorite hymn displays where she set her earthly journey’s path:

O Lord, my God When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made.

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Debra’s wish was to be cremated.

The family will receive friends on Friday, April 5, 2024 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at McMullen Funeral Home.

Burial will be private.

Debra’s final earthly resting places will be beside her Departed Husband at Rest Haven Memorial Gardens and besides her Departed Mother and Father at The Cullers Cemetery in Mathias, WV.
