Debra Morrow Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hughes Funeral Home and Crematory - Daphne on Jan. 9, 2026.
Debra Ann Leach Morrow died early in the morning on 6 January, 2026.

Debra was many things – a teacher, a Navy veteran, a gardener, a potter, a loving wife and best friend to David.

She loved to travel. She loved flowers. She loved working with children and continued to do so after retiring from the classroom, even as illness took its toll.

According to her wishes, no services are planned. Instead, she would want you to hug those you love and plant some flowers in your front yard. Go for a walk and visit a friend. Make some art. Or that phone call (you know the one). Look at beautiful things and take joy in what God has made. Help someone.

Instead of flowers and such, donate to cancer research, or any organization that tries to make this world a better place.

Remember, but don't mourn.

Hughes Funeral Home, 26209 Pollard Road, Daphne, AL, is assisting the family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
