Obituary: Debra Rutherford Thompson

Debra Rutherford Thompson is back dancing in her late husband’s, John Philp Thompson Sr.’s, arms now. She passed away on July 29, 2023 in her home in Highland Park, Dallas, Texas due to a stroke most likely brought on by the stress of her home being rearranged at the request of a Dallas judge who had required that her “stuff” be moved out of her room and reorganized. This caused Debra great anxiety due to Alzheimer’s patients using objects as ways to “root” themselves, resulting in a stroke. While it is deeply painful for those left behind, the family is grateful that she passed instead of remaining trapped in a body due to whatever a stroke might have caused. Debra’s resilience in not only surviving an Alzheimer’s diagnoses many years past what had been expected, but her determination to enjoy life, is a testament to how she had always lived it.
