Deborah Gergesha Armstrong

Feb. 4, 1970 - Jan. 25, 2019

RICHMOND, VA - Deborah Gergesha Armstrong passed away unexpectedly on January 25, 2019 in Richmond, VA with her family at her side. She will be sorely missed by her family, especially her two sons, David and A.J., and her beloved dog, Tyson. Debbie was a kind, fun-loving person and a joy to be with. Her laughter and smiles were contagious and filled our hearts with joy.

Debbie was born the youngest of three daughters to Edward and Mary Gergesha on February 4, 1970 in Fort Hood, TX. Her sisters, Cathy Lowe and Carol Sikorski will miss her big laugh, love, and spontaneity. She graduated from South Bend Adams High School in 1988. She earned an Associate's Degree from Vincennes University and worked as a respiratory therapist for several years.

Debbie loved her job as a stay-at-home mom, and her sons were the center of her universe. Anticipating that they would soon be leaving the nest, she returned to college and proudly graduated summa cum laude from the University of Richmond with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies last May at the age of forty-eight.

Her family and friends will gather to celebrate her life on Saturday, February 9, 2019, at the First United Methodist Church, 333 N. Main, South Bend, IN 46601. The family will greet friends starting at 11:30 with a Memorial Service at 1:00 p.m.
