Deborah Jean Grubbs

May 29, 1957 - October 3, 2018

In Loving Memory of Deborah J. Grubbs (Stewart): Deborah passed away October 3, 2018 in Austin, TX, after a hard fought battle with dementia (frontal temporal lobe). Deborah was born May 29, 1957 to Bill and Mary Stewart in Brownsville, TX. Deborah loved her children, her husband, her family, her many friends, music, travel and bird watching. Deborah’s family moved several times during her childhood but she developed lasting friends in Baton Rouge, LA and Hurst, TX where she graduated from L.D. Bell HS. Deborah married S. C. Grubbs in 1980 and together they had two beautiful children, Stewart and Sabrina. Deborah was diagnosed with her disease in 2011 after the effects of the disease began to rob her of mental capacity and cognitive skills. But what the disease truly robbed her of was the opportunities to enjoy the later years of life and the opportunity to be the loving Grandmother to the two wonderful grandchildren Sabrina blessed us with. Deborah is survived by her parents, Bill and Mary Stewart, her husband, Stanley C. Grubbs, her children, Stewart Grubbs, Sabrina Hurley and husband Sean and their sons Leo and Luke Hurley, Sisters Lorna Sebastian, Susan Foster and husband Dan, Brother David Stewart and wife Robin and numerous nieces and nephews. A private memorial service will be conducted in the coming days.
