Debra Kay Hallock

Debra Kay Hallock, age 66, of Lakeview, Michigan, passed away on November 10, 2025. She was born on May 25, 1959, to Gordon and Beatrice (Male) Taylor. Deb married the love of her life, John Claude Hallock, in 1977, and together they shared a devoted and meaningful 50 years of marriage.

She is survived by her husband of 50 years, John Hallock of Lakeview; her aunt, Hazel Finup; her sister Laurie Smits; and her half-sister, Jodi Lindscott.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon Taylor and Beatrice Gale; and her brother, Gordy Paulson.
