Our Mother, Deborah Caroline Haines, passed away on October 28, 2022 at the age of 73, surrounded by her closest and most beloved friends.  Born in Penn Yan, New York to Wesley Haines and Catherine (Roggie) Haines.  Her light, love to laugh, creativity and spirit of generosity will be truly missed.

She was a mom, oma and dear friend.  She was an artist, who channeled her creativity into her various projects.  Whether it be painted woodwork, dried flower creations, poetry or silly holiday hats and t-shirts, her desire to bring joy to others was evident.  She was a lover of walking on the beach, spending hours searching for that special seashell- a trait she has passed down to her grandchildren.  She was caregiver and giver, professionally and to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.  She loved to laugh and was always ready with a joke.  A maker of some gosh darn good chili and fan of the New England Patriots, she loved to celebrate and cheer with others.  Above all, she was a devout Christian and she cherished her church family and its teachings.  Thank you to the congregation of Real Life Church of Yuma, for bringing joy to her life.

She is survived by a son and daughter, two granddaughters, her furry babies, sisters, nieces and a sister-in-Christ with her loving family.

There will be a celebration of Debbie's life on November 8, 2022 at 11:00 o'clock at the Real Life Church of Yuma located at 545 S Avenue C, Yuma, AZ 85364.  In leiu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the church and its programs (https://reallifeyuma.com/giving).
