Debra Kuster Obituary
Debra Jean Kuster, 70, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, passed away unexpectedly on September 30, 2025. She was born on October 12, 1954 in Pontiac, Illinois to the late Jean (Burton) and Wesley Tucker.
In 2020, Debra married her first love, Steve Kuster. She was a devoted mother to Jason (Raelyn) and Michele Hoover, and a caring stepmother to Jeremy Kuster. Her grandchildren—Ethan, Reed, Lincoln Hoover, and Lohgan Bradburn—held a special place in her heart.
Debra shared a close bond with her sisters: Mary Alltop Price (Rob Price), Vikki (Scott) Smith, and Tammy, who sadly passed away just nine days before Debra. She was also embraced by a large extended family through marriage, including Dana (Pat) Kuster, Gary Kuster, Vikki (Ken) Smith, Randy (Suzanne) Kuster, Kim Kuster, and Joy (Tony) Wells.
A graveside service will be held at a later date.
Debra’s warmth and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to those she loved and who loved her in return.
