KERNERSVILLE, NC – Mrs. Debbie Macioce, 74, passed away on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. She was born in Indianapolis, Ind., on May 18, 1951, to the late Edsel and Ruth Richardson.

She is survived by her brother, Rick Richardson (Karen); daughter, Carol Macioce (David); sisters-in-law, Linda Heisserman (Ray), Loraine Craig (Michael), LuAnn Durkin (Brian), Lisa Davis; nieces and nephews, Stephanie Richardson, Laura Russell (Kevin) and son, Ward, Jeff Heisserman (Jenny) and daughter, Natalie, and son, Andrew, Brian Craig (Jessica) and son, Jordan, Greg Durkin, Christopher Craig, Marissa Craig (Kyle); daughter-in-law, Tanese Macioce, and three grandchildren, Marla, Morris and Merritt Macioce.

Special thanks to her friends, Lana and Holden Robinson, and the team at Piedmont Dialysis Center.

Debbie received her bachelor's degree in accounting. She was a bookkeeper and always loved numbers! Debbie enjoyed being the pianist for many years at Main Street Baptist Church. She was a two-time leukemia (AML) survivor with a bone marrow transplant in 1994, kidney cancer survivor and most recently a dialysis patient for the last few years. No complaints, only positivity and perseverance. Debbie loved sweet tea, reading, word games and her grandkids.
