Deborah Ann Johnston (née Speiran)

Debbie passed away peacefully on November 14th to be with her LORD, at Mariposa House Hospice, surrounded by her family. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Paul Johnston of 52 years. Debbie dedicated her life to raising a family. She was a role model for her 3 children; Nancy Anderson (Mark), Lisa Dickey (predeceased) (Matt), and Aaron Johnston (Jayme).

She adored her grandchildren, Julia and Katelyn Dickey, Kamryn and Kolleen Johnston, and Lucas and Liam Anderson. Debbie dearly loved her only sibling, Douglas Speiran, and his wife, Valerie, who was the sister she never had. She was very thankful for her brother-in-law Bob Tudhope (Jean predeceased) who made them welcome in his home and sister-in-law Theresa Johnston (Stewart predeceased). She will be remembered by many nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews.

Debbie was looking forward to seeing her daughter Lisa in heaven and residing with Jesus because of their faith in his glorious saving grace.

Debbie was grateful for Nancy's help through Paul’s Parkinson’s and her fight with cancer. Many thanks to dear friends Eileen, Abby, Gay, and Dorothy, all those who helped Paul in his illness. Also, her phenomenal oncologist, Dr. Sara Rask, her kind GP, Dr. Joel Runk and all the caring staff at Mariposa House Hospice. Debbie was a Godly woman who saw and filled needs. She was a behind-the-scenes lady who loved the people in her life. Her funeral will take place at Cornerstone Baptist Church on Saturday November 21 at 1:00 pm, with visitation at 11:30. She desired donations to be made to Mariposa House Hospice. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
