HEATHSVILLE—Deborah Jean Wright Harvey, 69, of Heathsville passed away peacefully at home on June 11, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born on December 8, 1955, in Fredericksburg, Deborah brought joy and warmth to everyone who knew her. She had a vibrant spirit and a love for the simple pleasures in life—shopping for treasures, watching her Redskins play, playing cards with family and friends, relaxing by her beloved swimming pool and cherishing every moment spent with those she loved most.
Deborah was a devoted daughter, mother, grandmother and sister.
She is survived by her father, Richard Wright; her brothers, Michael Wright and Rodney Wright; her children, Alicia Johnson (Ty), Ashley Teel, Warren Harvey and Patrick Harvey (Christina); 11 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and joy.
She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Jean Wright; and her husband, Jerry Harvey, whose memory she held close to her heart.
Deborah’s life will be honored and celebrated at 11 a.m. July 16 at Derbyshire Baptist Church, 8800 Derbyshire Road, Richmond, VA 23229, as her family gathers to remember the laughter, love and warmth she so generously shared.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to remember Deborah by spending time with your loved ones, playing a favorite card game, or simply enjoying a sunny day by the water—just as she would have.
If you wish to donate, American Cancer Society and National Institute of Health played parts in Deborah’s journey.

We would also like to give thanks to Currie Funeral Home for their loving care during this time. The staff has been truly gracious and caring throughout this time.
