It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Debbie Stacha Yorke on the eve of December 31st, 2025. She was 61 years young.
Debbie truly had a heart of gold. Her generosity and kindness will be remembered fondly by all those who were lucky enough to be around her. She had a genuine knack for being able to listen and truly understand you. She would stand up for you when no one else would and was always there to support you in any circumstance. Debbie was never afraid of giving tough love when needed. She played many roles for many people a devout mother, a supportive sister, a doting aunt, a steadfast friend, or a loving Godmother. She absolutely shined when she was caring for others. She was always happy to lend a helping hand, a comforting shoulder or sage advice. Debbie was always ready to make a delicious meal for anyone in need. She opened her home to one and all and immediately made you feel like you were welcomed and safe.
Debbie will be sorely missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her husband and best friend, James Nicholas Yorke, and her two children, Sara Emily O'Dwyer (Aaron O’Dwyer) and James Carl Yorke (Lindsay Yorke).
In leu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to a charity of your choice.
