Our dearest Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend, Debra Ann Malbrough LeCompte was called home to her father and savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2021, at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Debra was born Feb. 26, 1954 in Lafayette, La. to Felton Thomas Malbrough and the late Dora Lee Malbrough Guillory. She lived most of her life in Lake Charles where she raised her only child, Adrian Malbrough. Debra was married to Welton LeCompte and she was a faithful member of St. Henry Catholic Church.

Throughout her life, Debra’s love language was acts of service and was most satisfied in taking care of the needs of others or when she could present them with small gestures of her affections (cooking, cleaning, making CDs of her favorite blues singers, drinking coffee, etc.).

She loved her New Orleans Saints, the Lifetime Movie Channel and spending time with her family.

Her passion to help others led her to a career that spanned 42 years and 11 months with the Lake Charles Housing Authority where she held multiple positions over the years helping countless people secure affordable housing.

Left to cherish her beautiful memories are her father, Felton (Elizabeth) Malbrough of Lake Charles; son, Adrian Malbrough of Houston, Texas; siblings, Ray (Catherine) Malbrough Sr., Linda Malbrough both of Lake Charles, La.; Stanley (David) Malbrough-Smith of Houston, Texas; nieces, Sharonda (Curtis) Malbrough-Parker, Brandi (Carl) Stewart of Lake Charles, La., Nyree (Selven) Mack of Houston, Texas; nephew, Ray (Brandi) Malbrough Jr.; Godson, Lindan Clophus; and her two “ride or die” best friends, Ms. Asa Citizen and Ms. Audrey Edwards all of Lake Charles, La. and a host of great nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Debra is preceded in death by her husband, Welton LeCompte; her mother, Dora Lee Guillory; step-father, Kelly L. Guillory; and brother, Joseph Anthony “Tony Bro” Malbrough.

Visitation will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday Oct. 23, 2021, at Kings Funeral Home, 1611 Gerstner Memorial Dr., Lake Charles, LA. Funeral Services will commence at 11 a.m. at St. Henry Catholic Church, 1021 8th Ave. Lake Charles, LA 70601. Burial will follow in Consolata Cemetery, 2300 Country Club Rd.
