Deborah “debi” Jane Malley (nee Switzer)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Deborah Malley, on February 9, 2022, at the age of 68 years. Loving wife of David Malley for 32 years. Beloved daughter of the late Reg and Lorna Switzer. Cherished sister of Rhonda and Lee Johnson, Melissa and Wade Chausse, and the late Dru Switzer.

Treasured aunt of Graeme, Josclyn and Rachit, Scott, Jenna and Tom, Wendel and Megan, Rachel, Jen and Cory, Matt and Jessica, Shannon, Alyssa and Christopher, and Devin. Also remembered by her in-laws Brian Malley and Paula and Roger Bos; predeceased by her father and mother-in-law, Joseph Malley and Marilyn Malley.

Survived by Aunt Pat and many dear cousins. Debi participated in multiple social activities and will be deeply missed by those who knew her, including special friend Marie Bailey.

Debi taught for over thirty years for the GECDSB where many dear life long friendships developed. Her role as teacher inspired many, both in the classroom and in life.

Debi always planned and prepared, whether her favourite “Medieval Times” at school or family games nights and pool parties. She will always be remembered for her organized fun and most especially her joy of togetherness.

She taught us to never underestimate the power of a plan; the knowledge was absorbed and filtered through her students back into the world, just like the love she poured into her family, which will continue to flow back out into the world that so desperately needs more love.

A memorial visitation will take place at Kendrick Funeral Home, Kingsville, on Friday, February 18, 2022, from 3 to 7 p.m. In following COVID restrictions, you must RSVP to attend the visitation as numbers are limited. Masks are mandatory for all who enter the funeral home.

A private family graveside service will be held at Greenhill Cemetery.

If you wish, memorial donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Cancer Society, 300-55 St. Clair Ave. W., Toronto, ON M4V 2Y7 or to the charity of your choice.

    Rhonda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Malley was one of my fondest memories from school with an incredible gift to teach, having an amazing impact on all of those lives around her. She was an inspiration for me growing up and continues to be the spirit I embrace when I teach in the classroom. She will be missed.
