Deborah Nathan Obituary

NATHAN, Deborah J.

Deborah J. Nathan of Lilburn, passed away on October 19, born to James and Josephine Campagna, in Detroit, Michigan, May 4, 1948. She was a loving mother, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, to countless others. She was a very giving selfless person who tried her best to help others. She loved her crafts, painting, pottery, glass jewelry, fishing, with her husband, in Florida, and cooking the best banana bread, cannolis, and other Italian dishes. It was rare to hear her say anything bad about others. She was a positive Christian soul. She has survived by her husband, Gary Nathan of Lilburn; son, Shane Hartson; brother, Jim (Janice) Campagna; grandkids, Allison Hartson, Hope and Kelton Hartson; nieces and nephews including, Mindy Miskuff, Jory and Alex Feltus, Kathy Campagna, Jim and Terrence Campagna, Kurt, Ty, and Tracy Campagna; seven great-grandchildren; and many others who loved her dearly. Life will definitely not be the same without her, but her legacy will live on through us. May God keep her and hold her until we meet again.

I think of "Uncle" Debbie everyday since her passing. I have so many fond memories of my friend at the pool, Thanksgiving, Christmas, her home, the beach. I am so honored to have had her in my life. As a Christian, I know she is in Heaven, but I miss her laugh here on Earth. She IS the best.

I will always love my Aunt Debbie, every, single day for the rest of my life. Our lives are forever changed without her in our lives. She always made out holidays so beautiful and so much fun, and she knew how to be a wonderful hostess. She always laughed at jokes and remembered all of the details of our lives. Her beauty and artistry will continue to inspire me to see design everywhere I go, and her sense of order has shaped the way I go about things every day. She always tried to do things the right way...so I learned a great deal from her. She was my aunt but also my friend. No matter when I called her or visited with her, we had a great time. She is the best. I am so glad we had her in our lives for as long as we did. I love her so much. Thank you God for Aunt Debbie and for her lasting imprint on my heart and in my family. We will feel her love forever.
