Debra Sue Hurley

Debra Sue Hurley, 59, of South Bend, took her final breath, Monday, August 12, 2024, at Memorial Hospital. She was born in South Bend on April 13, 1965. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dennis R. Hurley and Delva (Beagles) Yarbrough, and her brother-in-law, Michael Gregory.

Debra leaves behind a sister, Terri Gregory of Pinellas Park, Fl, 3 nieces, Kristeen (Victor) Yuris, Kayla (Joseph) Morgart, and Alyssa Gregory, and great-nieces and nephews, Amber, Aiden, Samuel, Dennis, Kayla, Diego, Jordan, and Mateo.  Along with uncles, an aunt, and several cousins.

Debra was a big Chicago Cubs fan who loved country music and always had a book or puzzle in hand. She enjoyed spending time with loved ones and her dear cat companion, Cherrio. She especially enjoyed playing Pokeno with neighbors and friends. Her home was filled with the sounds of baseball and football and the simple joys that brought her peace. Debra’s love for life’s small pleasures and the bonds she formed left lasting memories for everyone who knew her.

A time to celebrate her life is scheduled for October 12th, from 11 am to 1pm at Wells and Cruz Family Funeral Home, Mishawaka. A private burial will follow at Fairview Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to the American Diabetes Association. To light a virtual candle, share a story of Debra’s life, or extend a message of comfort to her family, visit the Tribute Tab.
