It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deborah Ann May, who departed this world on June 26, 2026, having graced it for 76 years since her birth on June 7, 1950.

Deborah’s journey began in the heart of Kentucky, where she was raised by John and Mary Boyle. She was a proud alumna of Eastern High School in Middletown, and from there, she devoted herself to the same wealth management team for 30 years. Her strong work ethic was a testament to her integrity, perseverance, and the trust she inspired in those around her. She continued her vocation with Argent Trust for quite some time afterwards. To her colleagues and clients alike, Deborah was far more than a consummate professional; she was a confidante, a mentor, and a friend whose wisdom and empathy enriched the lives of many.

Deborah’s heart was never more radiant than in the roles she cherished beyond her work. As a mother to her beloved daughter, Jennifer Davis, she embodied love, strength, and gentle encouragement. Her joy was multiplied in the unique delight of being a “dog grandma”—a role she embraced with playful devotion, especially toward her current granddog, Zuri. Whether spending peaceful moments at the barn among horses or sharing stories of canine escapades, Deborah relished the simple pleasures and profound connections that make life rich with meaning.

Per the family’s wishes, there will not be formal services for Deborah. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the following organizations:
