Deborah Cook Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stith Funeral Homes - Florence on Jan. 8, 2026.
Deborah "Debbie" Jean (Sutton) Cook, 67, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, surrounded by those she loved, following a courageous 20-year battle with cancer. Debbie was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the late John and Jean Sutton.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 42 years, Rick Cook; her loving daughters, Danielle Kuertz (Nick) and Brittany Toebben (Jacob); and her cherished grandchildren, Claire, Charlie, Chase, and Callie Kuertz, and Kinsley, Owen, and Zoey Toebben. She is also survived by her dear sisters, Joy Addison (Curt) and Shelia Sutton, along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and a multitude of friends who will miss her dearly.

Debbie enjoyed a long and dedicated career with Duke Energy and was a faithful member of First Church of Christ for nearly 45 years. To Debbie, family was everything. She treasured time spent with her daughters and found her greatest joy in her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life. She also loved vacationing with her husband, daughters, and grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

Debbie leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, devotion, and strength that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
