Deborah Samuel—known to many as Debbie—sadly passed away on Sunday, December 8. Her family and the broader community are heartbroken over the loss of a person who brought light, joy, and unwavering support to everyone she encountered. Debbie was 55 years old.
Debbie’s family shared their grief, describing her as "one in a million," a woman who transformed the lives of those around her with her love, encouragement, and dedication. Overcoming significant challenges from a young age, she reconnected with her family over the past 15 years and became the heart of their joy. Beyond her family, Debbie extended her kindness and wisdom to others through her work with ex-offenders in the probation service and Synergy Theatre Project.
In 2018, she was proud to represent Hackney Women’s Team at the London CRC Probation Awards, where her team earned the prestigious "Team of the Year" title—a testament to her impactful work and commitment to others.
Debbie’s family has expressed immense gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. They have launched a fundraiser, organized by Jamie Lewis, to cover the remaining costs of her funeral and the wake. So far, £175 has been raised from five donations. The family emphasized that any additional contributions, no matter how small, will help provide Debbie with the send-off she deserves.
