Was a Quaker
Deborah was herself a great-granddaughter of William and Elizabeth Wright and Matthew and Mary McConnell. All her direct ancestors were English, Irish of Welsh Friends, and were people of sterling character, who left their impress upon the respective communities in which they lived. The subject of this notice inherited many of the sterling characteristics of her ancestors. She was a woman of great energy and decision of character. Over seventy years ago she was united in marriage with John W. Passmore, of Chester county, Pa. John W. died forty-seven years ago. During these many long years she ever remained faithful to his memory and seemed as years rolled by to miss his loving kindness more and more, and ever revered his memory. She was a devoted mother, struggled as few mothers have done to try to rear her children to be good men and women. She was a woman of untiring energy and industry, always finding something for her willing hands to do. Until within about three years of her death, when she lost her eyesight, she was able to sew and knit very well. About fifteen months ago she removed to the residence of her youngest child, John A. M. Passmore, to spend the residue of her days. Some several months ago she missed her chair in sitting down, and striking the floor, broke her hip. At her advanced age her physician thought she would not recover from the shock, She, however, did, but it left her with an enfeebled heart, which prevented her from ever sitting up again. For these seven long she had to lie on her back, at times usffering very acutely. She, however, bore her sufferings with great fortitude, remarkable for one of her years. She was so patient, seldom ever giving way to complaints, but she longed to be at rest and to meet her loved one who had gone before. For weeks before her death she expressed a strong and abiding faith in the merits and atonement of her loving Savior and her desire to depart and be at rest. Everything that loving hearts and hands could do was done to make her comfortable, and her son's self-sacrificing family will some day reap the reward of their kindness in soothing her last days. Many a tear will moisten the eyes of young and old as they read the death notice of Grandmother Passmore."
