Deborah “Debbye” Jean
Swarthout, age 60 of Cottontown, passed away on March 23, 2015.
Debbye was born in Nashville, Tennessee on November 25, 1954 to the
late Donald and Alice King. Debbye was a loving daughter, wife,
mother, grandmother, and sister.
Debbye proudly served her country in the United States Navy, where
she married her husband of 41 years, Jay Swarthout, within six weeks
of their first meeting. Together, they travelled the world and
enjoyed each other’s company. “She had a personality that could
disarm anyone,” Jay remembers. “It wasn’t possible to be in a bad
mood around her.” Debbye always had a smile on her face. “Everyone
loved her,” recalls her daughter, Stormy. She was so loved at work,
in fact, that when she told her employers that she was moving across
the country, they fought to keep her and even let her work from home
some 2,000-plus miles away.
Debbye was always doing for others and always wanted to be a part of
things. Her husband admits that she may not have tried the skydiving
and scuba and other activities if he hadn’t persuaded her. She was
always willing to try new things, as long as they could do them
together.
Debbye is survived by her husband, Jay Swarthout; daughter, Stormy
Stuart and her husband, Sean; brothers, Donald E. King, Jr. and
Thomas Patrick King; sisters, Suzanne Carroll Horton, Judy Ann
Jackson, and Dianne Marie Bryan and her husband, Ray;grandson, James
Dallas Middleton Stuart, one granddaughter, due in August of 2015;
and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
Debbye’s family will receive friends and visitors on Monday, March
30, 2015 from 10am until 11am at Spring Hill Funeral Home. Graveside
services with Military Honors will take place on the same day at
11am in the Garden Mausoleum at Historic Spring Hill Cemetery, with
Debbye’s nephews serving as pallbearers.
