Debra Ann Neale Obituary

Debra Neale, age 65 of Shelburne, Ontario passed away suddenly in her home. She was loved beyond words and will be deeply missed by her children: Tanya (Ron), Jeremy (Leslie) and Sausha (Kyle); her grandchildren Lillian, Gavin, Ethan, Kadence, Jasper and Sophia. Along with all the children she took in as her own over the years. Debra is survived by her sister Penny, brother Ron (Cindi), nephew Brad (Cas) and niece Amanda (Jeff). She is pre-deceased by parents Patricia and Ronald Neale and brother-in-law Steve Peck. She was known for.

A lot of things. Her love for animals, talking on the phone for hours, collecting stuffed animals (specifically her monkeys), but one thing for sure, that everyone one will remember and hold close - is the acceptance she portrayed towards everyone, she was always mom and accepted you as her own. It was just who she was. Debra loved to talk about her children and was so proud to share photos of her grandchildren - they are what kept her strong. She held a lifelong love for Elvis, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin and Johnny Cash. She loved to reminisce about the old times and tell stories from her past, and if music was playing you'd find her standing, swinging her leg and doing the twist.
