Debra “Debbie” Lou Earley

On March 14th, while holding the hand of the one who loved her best on this earth, Debbie entered Heaven taking hold of the hand of the One who loves her most in Heaven. He welcomed His Faithful Child into everlasting life.

Debbie was loved by her mother and sister, her brothers and sisters in law, multiple nieces and nephews, and even a few great nephews.
She leaves behind precious and dear friends who will, indeed miss her.

Debbie was deeply loved by her husband, Mike, with whom she shared 25 years of marriage and whom has gently and lovingly cared for her during this time of her preparation to enter Eternity. Debbie leaves behind her mother Gladys, her sister Marlene and husband James, as well as a number of nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by father Donald.

We will remember her funny White Elephant gifts she brought to Christmas gatherings, (we STILL laugh about those!), her extraordinary administrative skills, her giving spirit, her creative talents, her ability to capture life and paint it on paper, and her passion for the American life.

We are so thankful for Debbie’s life.

We are thankful for those who prayed, brought food, sat with and provided support.

We are grateful for the goodness of God, His promises and His overwhelming love.
