Deborah A George passed away peacefully on the evening of April 13th in the family home in Middleburg Virginia.
Deborah was born on December 7, 1957 to her parents Jean and Andrew Huston in St. Louis Missouri. She was the youngest of three daughters and is survived by her older sisters Connie and Sherree. She loved her hometown, and that is where she ultimately met her husband Greg in 1986. They were married in April 1988 and soon thereafter moved to California to start Greg's ophthalmology practice. While in California she gave birth to her two sons, James 32, and Grant 26. She adored them greatly and would spend her days entertaining and educating them.
Deborah had a lifelong love of animals, along with the desire to learn how to be an equestrian rider. In the late 90s, on traveling to Northern Virginia for a friend's wedding, she fell in love with the Virginia countryside, and the family decided to relocate to Great Falls, and ultimately Middleburg Virginia. One of her greatest joys in life would be to ride to a hilltop in Middleburg with her dear friend Connie, close her eyes, soak in the warm breeze, and listen to the sounds and feel of nature.
In 2016 Deborah was diagnosed with a brain tumor. In her true courageous fashion, she battled this disease for six years. She never let it get her down, and she maintained her ability to live life to its fullest with style and grace while spreading warmth to others through her infectious laugh and smile. For the last few years she spent her winters in the Bahamas where her warm personality lead to many new and close friendships.
To celebrate her life, the family will be holding a small event later this spring in Middleburg Virginia. Her ashes will be spread on her favorite hilltop. In lieu of flowers please send a donation to Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education center for the handicapped at sproutcenter.org or Mobile Hope for foster children when they turn 18 at mobile-hope.org.
