Obituary of Deborah Alice Casey

It takes approximately two minutes to fall in love with Debbie Casey. Two minutes to see the genuine beauty behind everything she says and does. To feel the warmth in her smile and the joy in her laugh. To realize that no matter how or why this incredible woman wandered into your world, you are better off than you were before as you have just acquired a dear friend for the rest of your life. Early in the morning of September 21st, the glorious and lovely life of Debbie became a memory that will live on in everyone that had the privilege of knowing her. She was the epitome of perfection in every sense of the word. In the way that she raised her daughter, in the effortless adoration that flowed between she and her husband, and in the beloved friendships that blossomed with each person she met. For Debbie Casey, there was no greater joy or purpose in life than to love and be loved, and there is no truer way to honor her memory than to continue radiating this love in everything that we do. Deborah Alice Casey, age 57 of Boone, passed away Friday, September 21, 2018 at her home. She was born January 22, 1961 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
