Deborah McIntyre Darley of Peachtree City
Deborah Leah McIntyre Darley of Peachtree City passed away Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012 at UAMS in Little Rock, Ark. where she had spent the last 2.5 years battling multiple myeloma.
Deb was born March 15, 1950 in Selmer, Tennessee.
Deb moved to Albany, Ga. in 1962 and graduated from Valdosta State University with a degree in Mathematics. Deb was quick to laugh, and always up for any adventure her friends or family cooked up. She loved projects of any type: jewelry making, painting, and renovations, traveling with her husband of 38 years in their airplanes. Deb was an FAA certified ground instructor and a certified instructor in art clay silver.
She impacted many lives during her years teaching math and reading at McIntosh High School after having homeschooled her three children.
Deb is survived by husband Vern, son Trey and Katka Darley of Brussels Belgium, daughter Amanda and Jon Swindall of Atlanta, son Stephen Darley of Atlanta, grandchildren Evelyn Darley, Eliana and Parker Swindall, mother Doris Gean, and brother Timothy McIntyre of Warner Robins.

I did not personally snap any photos yesterday at the service. Others did and when they send themto me I will post the good ones. So, check back because it was an incredible event.
Deb's life was celebrated in style today. The facility was packed. The flowers were amazing. The speakers powerful and right-on in their comments concerning Deb. The music worshipful.
Afterwards, many came to our home for the afternoon. Several ladies from church ran the kitchen and laid out a feast for us. Thanks cooks and servers!
We had a multi-relational group today. We had relatives. We had Church friends.
We had airplane friends. We had Owen's gang friends.
The Owens gang gathered around the piano and Lisa played. We sang from the same songbooks we used in the '70's. I even had 4 original folding chairs that Mrs Owns had given me.
My two sons made special comment on how glad they were to hear us sing together again after all these years.
Plenty of pix were taken but I do not have them yet. To be posted later.
Deb was honored and remembered by all.
Blessings!
It was such a beautiful service. Kristina and I remarked on how it was the most Christ honoring service we had ever been to. It has been evident in your posts how much the Spirit gave Deb life, and His work in and through her was even more showcased in the comments of her friends and family. It was an honor to be there. We continue to pray for you all.
