Obituary

Debra P. Horn, née Truster, 69

Loving mother of her son Adam, daughter Sharna, and daughter-in-law Erica. Proud nana of her granddaughter Megan. Best of friends with Anni, Debbie, Fran, Sherry, and Susan.

Debbi was born on April 16, 1952, to the late Sidney and Sally Truster, and grew up with her late sister Gail Persino née Truster in Rogers Park. She died on April 7, 2022, with the loving support of her family and friends.

She devoted her life to being the most amazing, caring, and loving mother and nana. She took great pride in their accomplishments, none of which would have been possible without her support and guidance. Being raised by her was a privilege and we will always be grateful for who she was and the love she showed.

Some of her greatest joys included: spending time with her granddaughter and watching her perform on stage and on ice; vacationing with her children; going to concerts with friends; and eating delicious foods, especially pizza, sushi, and Chinese food. She was known for her glitzy sense of style and had an eye for great deals while she shopped 'til she dropped.

She had the kindest soul and will be greatly missed. Her body may no longer be with us, but her love and spirit live on in all who knew her as she continues to watch over and protect us.

Her funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, April 12 at Chicago Jewish Funerals, 8851 Skokie Boulevard, Skokie, IL 60077-2224. Following the service, her interment will be at Menorah Gardens Cemetery, 2630 S 17th Avenue, Broadview, IL 60155.
