Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Deborah (Debbie) Ann McVey passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She was a mother of one son, Richard (Nicole) Slusser, a proud grandmother to Kayla, McCayla and Heath, and a beloved great-grandmother to Aubrey, Micah, Kolby, Rose and Kalani.
Debbie was one of nine siblings, preceded in death by her brothers Patrick, Frank, and Steve McVey. She is lovingly remembered by her surviving siblings: Kathy (Bruce) Bender, Mary Gabriel, Paul (Michelle) McVey, Bill (Barb) McVey, Janet (Mark) Bennet.
Her love for her family will never be forgotten and while she will be deeply missed, we take comfort in knowing she is now at peace.
My loving sister, I miss you so much and I look forward to uniting with you in Christ. We are all gathering to celebrate your life and know that I celebrate you every day. I’ve been dreaming about you now and remembering how you took care of me and played with me when I was young. I have peace knowing that you are now free. I love you always big sis!
I find myself reliving a flood of fond memories from our days on the farm. You taught me to sing, master the perfectly lined cat eye, and to tease my hair with oh so much Aquanet and Dippity Do! I’m both smiling and full of sorrow, knowing you’re no longer here with us. And, I’m grateful that you are at peace, dear sister. Love you forever, Janet
My big sister Debbie. I will mostly miss calling you on our shared birthday. It always made my birthday brighter. Your voice will always be remembered every time I think of you. I love you so much.
I will always remember growing up with sister Debbie in our small but lively home—four sisters, five brothers, one bathroom-yikes and endless memories. The three of us sisters shared a bedroom, learning early on the meaning of togetherness. Life eventually took us in different directions, but no matter the distance and dynamics we were always a part of each other’s lives.
Debbie is finally at peace, reunited with our three brothers who went before her. Now, as the oldest, I hold close the love and laughter we shared. She will always be in my heart.
With love,
Kathy
To Debbie’s Family
I’m deeply saddened by her passing. She was a beautiful woman with a heart full of love. She welcomed me into her family with open arms, making me feel loved and valued. I cherish the memories of her warmth and infectious smile. Her family was blessed to have her, and I’m grateful for the special bond she helped create between our families. May God comfort you during this difficult time and may he reunite her with her beloved brother in eternal peace. Rest in God’s loving arms.
Kathy, Mary, Paul, Bill, and Jannie… We are so very sorry for the loss of your big sister, Debbie. My heart is full with many wonderful memories of family gatherings at the farm, and the many family get-togethers, birthday parties and Easter celebrations at my mom’s.
Debbie was always part of those events- always with a smile on her face, and always with something kind and loving to say.
Richie…The loss of a mom leaves a void that cannot be explained. But know that your mom’s legacy will live on through the love she passed on to you, and your children and grandchildren. May your special memories bring you strength and comfort at this difficult time.
Sending you prayers, hugs and love.
Debbie leaves behind a family that adored her. She went through a very hard time and just kept fighting to be with us longer. I am at peace now that she doesn’t have to suffer anymore. Some of my fond memories is when she tought me how to sew curtains. She tried and tried to teach me pie crust , just didnt happen. She wasn’t just a sister-in-law, she was like a sister to me. She leaves behind an amazing family, but joins the ones we have lost. Until we meet again Love you, Barb
I will miss the chats on the phone with you about anything and everything. While in high school you were my 1st boss at a place in Jonesburg. She was such a good teacher and that even reflects in her son’s upbringing. So many fond memories. Knowing your at peace now comforts me. Love You Always,
Bill
