Debra Jourdan of Arizona passed away unexpectedly on March 13, 2026.
She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Jim; her mother, Mary; her sister, Linda (Todd); her brother, Jim (Jackie); her two sons, Gary (Megan) and Eric (Kristin); and her cherished grandchildren, Tripp and Blaire. She was preceded in death by her father, Kermit.
Debra’s greatest passion in life was kindness—she gave freely of herself to people and animals alike, always placing the needs and wishes of others before her own. She found her deepest joy in time spent with her children and grandchildren, and her face would light up whenever she was with them.
A lifelong crafter, Debra created countless quilts, needlepoint pieces, sweaters, hats, dresses, and many other handmade treasures. She generously donated many of her creations to those in need, reflecting her quiet, giving nature. She gave selflessly and never expected anything in return.
Debra was cremated, and her family will honor her memory with a celebration of life. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
