Deborah Carr

Deborah Carr, Deb or Debbie to most, passed peacefully in her home on January 8th, 2024 in St. Augustine, Florida at the age of 66. Deb is survived by her mother, Mary Carr Daniel of Garner, NC; daughter, Hannah and son-in-law, Dustin Swindell; granddaughters, Elizabeth (5) and Caroline (8 months) of Morehead City, NC; brother Randy Carr of Garner, NC and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who became family. She is preceded in death by her father, Wayne Carr and stepmother, Ellen Pinion Carr of Fuquay-Varina, NC and stepfather, Pete Daniel of Stem, NC. Deb was born on January 16th, 1957 in Raleigh, NC to Mary Carr Daniel and Wayne Carr. She graduated from Garner Senior High School in 1975. After joining the Navy, aboard the USS Canopus AS-34 she accomplished many great things. Deb was a Torpedoman's Mate class 3, and a pivotal member of their softball team. She earned multiple awards, including the First Good Conduct Medal and two Battle E awards. After her four-year tenure in the Navy, she established residence in Florida. Deb welcomed her daughter on April 25th, 1991 and if you asked her, Hannah was her greatest accomplishment. Deb was a loving and generous soul, who was passionate about helping others. Her career in massage therapy spanned over 30 years, and she prided herself on staying up to date with current therapies to heal others. She is known for her musical talents with the guitar and played in her church band. Deb was always eager to learn a new instrument, song or perfect the ones she knew. She enjoyed traveling, especially with friends and family. However, her greatest passion was her gransugars, Elizabeth and Caroline, who she loved most of all! She truly believed the world was her oyster and lived by this mantra. Although short, Deb had a full life and chose happiness over all. We will continue to remember her legacy like this. The Celebration of Life will take place in North Carolina. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The Massage Therapy Foundation at massagetherapyfoundation.org. The family would like to thank The Cancer Center Specialist of North Florida, specifically Dr. Trikha for their continued care.
