Debra Durkee Obituary

Debra Ann Durkee, 68, of Seaford, Delaware passed away surrounded by her family on October 28th, 2021. She was born in Lewes, Delaware on September 24th, 1953, daughter of the late Ralph and Daisy Lewis. She is survived by her husband of 17 years, William Durkee, her two sons and their spouses, Garry Belote and Kelly Belote, Ben Belote and Brittany Belote, her six grandchildren, Kyle Avery, Alyssa Belote, Morgan Belote, Kali Banks, Lexus Banks, and Kyle Banks, and her brother, Dennis Workman.

She graduated from Indian River High School and studied Computer Programming at Delaware Technical and Community College. She was a very bright, young woman determined to provide the best life for her two sons. She used her knowledge working for Covey, Mazo-Lerch and Holt. More recently, she had settled down and as her involvement in the church increased, she began working there as the Children's Director of Laurel Wesleyan Church.

Anyone who knew Debbi knew how much she loved her family; they were the very core of her existence. She was always known to have a smile on her face and has always been described as a very loving, warm, and compassionate person. Some of her favorite things to do were spending time with family and friends, as well as her feline companion, Stripey. She loved to garden and always had the most beautiful yard in her community. The footprints she left on this earth with be everlasting.
There will be a Celebration of Life held on Saturday, November 6th, 2021 at 12:00 P.M. at Laurel Wesleyan Church.
