Deborah Ann (Snyder) Fargis

Deborah Snyder Fargis was born in Forsyth County, NC on March 8, 1951 and passed away peacefully on March 28, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Deborah was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and a dear friend to many. She had a heart for caring for others and spent her life making those around her feel seen, loved, and supported. She worked as a hairstylist for 15 years, where she formed lasting friendships with those in her chair. Later, she found her true calling in caring for children who lovingly called her Mam-ma. She found happiness in helping prepare them for school and nurturing them during their earliest years. 

Deborah was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Samuel Snyder; her mother, Lena Elizabeth Snyder; her sister, Betty Lou Shields; and her brother-in-law, Jack Shields.

She leaves behind her beloved husband, Herman Fargis; Step-daughter April (Billy) Step-Grandson Will; her son, David (Cindy); her daughters, Traci (Joey) and Casey (Michael). Her treasured grandchildren, Justin, Jamie (Nick), Jared (Ari), Levi (Cayla), Luke, Olivia (Caleb), Owen, Maddison and beloved nieces, nephews, and family members. 

Deborah’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and selfless care for others. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at J.C. Green and Sons Wallburg Chapel.  The family will receive friends on Thursday beginning at 2:00 PM.
