Deborah Kay Brady

Deborah Kay Brady, a beacon of joy and the epitome of love, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2025, in Nashville, Arkansas, at the age of 56. Born on January 3, 1969, in De Queen, Arkansas, Deborah’s life was a testament to the strength and compassion that characterized her every action.

Her days were brightened by the unwavering support of her paternal grandparents, Modena and Homer Conaster, and her maternal grandparents, Otto and Mildred Deer, whose legacies she carried forward with grace. In her journey through life, Deborah found a kindred spirit in Leslie Duke Brady, her beloved husband of over 19 years. Together, they built a life rich in shared experiences and mutual respect. Her mother, Glenda Deer Conaster instilled in her the power of her strength. Deborah was a devoted mother to her son, Jerrod Allen Miller, and his fiancée Ashley, and to her daughter, Madison Paige Miller. She took immense pride in her role as a mother, guiding her children with a gentle hand and an open heart.

Deborah’s love extended to her two sisters, Cindy and husband Rick Whitehouse, and Becky and husband Bill Dallas. She was a central figure in their lives, providing support and a listening ear whenever it was needed. Her family circle was made even more complete by the joyous presence of her six grandchildren, Morgan Bierden, Lane Bierden, Leigha Bierden, Stetson May, Kinzlee Churchill, and Paisley Morris, who knew her as the world’s best noni.

Though preceded in death by her father, Jerry Conaster, and her husband of her children, Tracy Miller, Deborah’s spirit of resilience and her capacity for love never waned. Her warmth and generosity of spirit touched the lives of a large host of other family members and friends, who will forever cherish her memory.

Deborah’s social engagements were marked by her involvement with the Hope First Assembly of God Church, where she cultivated her faith and fostered a community of fellowship. A dedicated fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Deborah enjoyed cheering on her team with the same passion she devoted to every aspect of her life. Her love for her family was paramount, and she found great joy in watching cooking shows, detective series, and attending NASCAR races with her loved ones. Deborah also found solace and inspiration in listening to podcasts, a hobby that allowed her to explore new ideas and stories. Deborah’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and the tender moments that bind a family together.

Her life was a beautiful mosaic of the roles she cherished—wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. As the world’s best Noni, she instilled in her grandchildren the same values of kindness, perseverance, and joy that she carried throughout her life.
