Deborah Shockley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 14, 2024.
Deborah Lynn Shockley (Williams), affectionately known as Deb, passed away on February 13, 2024, at the age of 57 in Laurel, Delaware. Born on June 22, 1966, she was a woman of grace and kindness, whose presence was a source of comfort and joy to those around her.

Deb was the treasured wife of Vincent Worster and the loving mother to her daughters, Jessica Williams, Jennifer Redman (Mark) of Alaska, Chasity Shockley (Lee) of Virginia Beach VA, and Cassie Riggleman (Logan) of Laurel, Delaware. Two step daughters Amber and Briana of North Carolina. Her role as a grandmother to Nicholas Shockley, Alice Redman, Jenna Redman, Gabriel Speller, Damien Speller, Addison Riggleman, Ava Riggleman and 6 step grandchildren of North Carolina was embraced with the same love and dedication she devoted to every aspect of her life. She always held a special place in her heart for her lifelong best friend Natalie Shaver of Laurel.

The daughter of Virginia Harris and the late Franklin Harris, Deb was a supportive sister to Teresa Williams, Timothy Williams, and David Harris, all of whom share in the family's loss. Her familial ties were deeply rooted in love and mutual respect, which she extended to all she met.

She was also proceeded in death by her stepson Vincent Worster Jr of Dover Delaware.

Deb's professional life was characterized by her unwavering commitment to her calling as a Registered Nurse at PRMC and Christina Care. Her passion for nursing was evident in the compassionate care she provided to her patients, earning her the respect and admiration of both her colleagues and those she served.

Her departure leaves behind a legacy of love, care, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of others. Deborah Lynn Shockley will be profoundly missed by her family, friends, and all who were touched by her generous spirit. Her memory will be cherished and honored by all who had the privilege to know her.
