Jennipher Deba-Alexander

Jennipher Anne Deba-Alexander of Highlands Ranch, Colorado passed away September 23, 2024, at age 48. She was born in Denver, Colorado on May 23, 1976 to Joseph and Barbara Deba as the middle child between her brothers Joseph (Laura) and Jamison (Tracy). But her life’s joy and legacy are her daughter Hailey Nicole Alexander (21) and son Wyatt Joseph Alexander (17). Her impact on them, and now through them, has left this world a changed and better place.

She spent most of her life in Colorado with a short stint in Oklahoma. She graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 1994 making life-long friends there and at her job at Hugh M Woods hardware where her love of country music, specifically 90’s country, began. She started her college education at then Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado where she not only studied but had many adventures whether she was rappelling off a mountain, attending Country Jam, or enjoying a midnight pallet bonfire in the desert where she was certainly up to no good. She ultimately earned her degree years later from Colorado State University Global. Her dedication and perseverance set an example to her kids as she would often be found interacting with them while simultaneously studying or writing an essay.

Knowing Jennipher meant knowing that her kids were everything to her. She had many responsibilities and wore many hats, but her role as “Mom” surpassed them all. Her love and self-sacrifice were on constant display as she was always their biggest fan and support no matter what they were involved in. She would be at every event and every game, and she loved to share big events alongside everyday happenings on Facebook so that everyone she knew could keep up on the things most important to her. 

While her body ultimately succumbed to it, she lived strong and courageously despite cancer. In the words of her daughter, Hailey: “no matter what anyone says, you beat it, you beat the cancer.” She had much love and support along the way from both family and friends-turned-family, especially Scott Phillips who meant the world to her and never left her side.
