In Loving Memory of Deborah McBryde:

Deborah, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, passed away leaving behind a family who will deeply miss her adventurous spirit, curiosity, and love of life.

Born in Virginia to James and Ruby McBryde, Deborah was part of a large and loving family. Siblings, Charles Clark, Tommy Clark, Linda Stevely, Andrew and Gigi McBryde.

Deborah was the loving mother of Kamalah Baynton and her husband Marlon Armstead, Justin Baynton, Colleen D’Ortona, Daniel D’Ortona and his wife Tiffany D'Ortona. One of the greatest joys of her life was being a grandmother to Natalie, Madonna, London, Audrey, Korbin, and Myra, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

A traveler at heart, Deborah’s life took her to many places. Though born in Virginia, she lived in several states throughout her life, including New Hampshire and Maine, before ultimately returning to Virginia in her later years.

Deborah approached life with a sense of adventure and curiosity. She embraced spontaneity, was always open to new experiences, and created countless unexpected moments and memories along the way. Her willingness to explore, experience life, and follow wherever the journey might lead was an enduring part of who she was.

More than anything, Deborah will be remembered for the life she shared with those around her and the memories she leaves behind. Her adventurous spirit will live on through her children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
