Debra Poole Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debra was a dedicated educator who touched the lives of countless students with her passion for learning and teaching. Her commitment to education was only surpassed by her devotion to her family and faith.
A woman of strong spirit and generous heart, Debra found joy and solace in her church and the harmonious melodies of gospel music. She had a zest for life that she expressed through activities such as biking and swimming, finding particular delight in her own backyard swimming pool. Her love for the sea and its guiding lights drew her to lighthouses, symbols of hope and guidance, much like Debra herself.
Debra is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Lois Stapleton. She is survived by her devoted spouse, John Poole; her cherished children, Chelsea Poole and John Poole; her father Louie Stapleton; her loving sisters, Diane (Curt) Shepherd and Melisa Jacobs; and a host of friends and extended family who will deeply miss her presence.
Debra's warmth, kindness, and unwavering dedication to those she loved will be remembered fondly and missed greatly by all who knew her.
