Our beloved friend and
sister Debra “Debby” Liv-
ingston died tragically in a
car accident in Astoria on
Sept. 10, 2021. Her friends
tell stories of her generos-
ity, her political passion
and her fervent desire to
make the world a better
place, through activism as
well as through her work
as a teacher.
Debby lived modestly
and carefully, dedicat-
ing her free time to vol-
unteer work to preserve
democracy in our troubled
times. We owe Debby a lot
for her examples of hard
work, and dedication to
progressive social causes
and social justice. She
was a leader and an inspi-
ration to others, although
she didn’t seem to realize
that because of her innate
modesty about her talents
and sharp intelligence. It’s
a terrible tragedy that she
was taken from us so sud-
denly, a shock that is deeply
felt by the many people she
worked with, the many stu-
dents she taught and those
of us who saw her sincerity
and personal commitment
as an example.
Debby was born on Feb-
ruary 3, 1954, in Elberon,
New Jersey, to Herbert
and Corinda Levi, the old-
est of four siblings. As a
child she was a voracious
reader, writer and budding
musician. Debby attended
Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem and then completed
a degree in forestry at Uni-
versity of Michigan, and
an advanced degree in
philosophy. She became
a Quaker hospice chap-
lain, and was committed
to religious life and pasto-
ral care, in a way inextrica-
bly linked to her political
activism. Her favorite Bib-
lical quotation was from
Micah: “And what does the
Lord require of you? To act
justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with
your God.”
More recently, Debby
was a teacher in Clatsop
County. Her work with
Indivisible North Coast
Oregon was very import-
ant to her and she devoted
countless hours to mean-
ingful volunteer work,
such as writing postcards
to encourage people to
vote, meeting with local
politicians and writing
articles. She was kind and
compassionate, and had a
wonderful sense of humor.
Her surviving fam-
ily
members
include
George and David Liv-
ingston, four nieces and
nephews, including her
beloved niece, Cory, and
her adopted Astoria family,
Sharon, Nancy and August,
who will miss her deeply.
She was predeceased by
her sister, Lynn, in 2018,
and by her parents.
Donations in her mem-
ory can be made either to
Indivisible North Coast
Oregon (www.incoregon.
org) or to the Poor People’s
Campaign
(www.poor-
peoplescampaign.org).
May her memory be for a
blessing.
