With heavy hearts, we celebrate the life of Deborah Jean Isreal, who passed away on April 8, 2026, at the age of 60.

Born on December 1, 1965, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Jeanie lived a life that was anything but ordinary. She brought love, laughter, and just the right amount of spice wherever she went. To know her was to know that she would tell it like it is—and somehow make you laugh while doing it.

She dedicated her life to her family and the people she loved, and while she worked hard, she also knew how to enjoy life—whether it was watching documentaries and soap operas with a full glass of wine in hand, or taking the boys to the track when they were kids, creating memories filled with laughter, excitement, and a little bit of mischief. She believed life was meant to be lived fully.

Above all, Deborah loved her family fiercely. She is survived by her husband, Jerome Isreal; her two sons, Nicholas and Terrel Isreal; and her grandchildren, Ryan Curtin and Abigail Wegner, who will forever carry her love, her lessons, and yes—even her sass—with them. She is also survived by her sisters, Jewel Holloman and Zeta Olander, and her brother, Dondald Daughety.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Brittany Marie Curtin, whose memory she carried with her always.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM at 8325 Mt. Harmony Ln, Owings, MD 20736. In honor of Deborah, the family encourages you to share a story, wear something that makes you feel confident, and don’t be afraid to be a little spicy.
