Debra Haring Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debra's greatest love was her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and daughter. She was a beloved friend and colleague who formed life long bonds with those who were closest to her. Debra's Jewish identity and strong spiritual connection with Israel shaped her values and the way she led her life. Her career at the University of Rochester was dedicated to advancing arts, sciences, engineering, and helping others.
Debra's memory will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved her. She was adored and will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
Graveside Services will be held on THURSDAY December 29, 2022 at 1:30 PM at White Haven Memorial Park (210 Marsh Road). Friends and family are asked to gather at the Main Entrance.
The family will sit Shiva on THURSDAY from 4 – 7 PM and FRIDAY from 1 – 4 PM at 2030 Elmwood Avenue.

I received my second NSF grant with / because of Debra's help, she was superb. She knew how to help researchers and administrators find and write grants. I learned a great deal from her and I respected her tremendously, her energy and intelligence. I miss her. There's no one like her, she was in a class by herself.

I am sad to learn of Debra's passing--she was a wonderful colleague but also much more than that. She went beyond helping me find financial support for my research to providing genuinely enthusiastic moral support and encouragement that has stayed with me. I vividly recall her email check-ins, even on weekends, to see how I was doing with an application, phone calls, office visits, and thoughtful and effective rewrites. I still use some of her wording today to describe my research. In between, we managed to chat about life in general. My sincerest condolences to her loved ones; may her memory be a blessing.
