Debra Haley Obituary

Debra Darlene Haley (Posey) passed away after a long and heroic fight with cancer. Her continued courage was an inspiration to many.

She is survived by her husband, Robert L. Haley, II; brother, Ross O. Posey, Jr.; father, Ross O. Posey, Sr.; uncle and aunt, George and Melba Allen. She was preceded in death by mother, Elsie L. Posey and many more relatives and special friends. She is loved and sorely missed.

No service; cremation has taken place.

You fought so hard

And suffered long

For the love we shared on Earth

Through life's turmoil

The strife and toil

Heart filled with sadness and mirth

With courage divine

And love undying

An inspiration to all you've known

Now sufferings done

All sorrow gone

The Lord has called you home.

(Cox, 330-745-3311)

You were an amazing and caring woman. I will never forget you and the wonderful things you did for my friends when they didn't have alot of money. You helped feed them and their children. I was glad I got to see you a few months because you died after not seeing you for years. You will always be loved and missed.
