Deborah Ann Russo Evans

September 2, 1959 - April 7, 2024

In loving memory of Deborah Ann Russo Evans.

Deborah Evans, a beacon of love and compassion, has transitioned from this world, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of selflessness. For 30 years, Deborah dedicated her life as a hospice CNA, touching countless lives with her boundless empathy and kindness. She found fulfillment in caring for her patients, leaving an indelible mark on those she served.
Debbie's love knew no bounds, especially for her eight children: Jaime Russo, Tina Sedillo, Eugene Clark, Ashley Forsland, Kayla Forsland, Anthony Evans, Gina Figueroa, Lee Figueroa, and Michael Evans. Her devotion to her children was unwavering, and her nurturing spirit enriched their lives in countless ways. She exemplified what it means to be a compassionate and loving mother, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and affection that will endure through generations.
Among Debbie's greatest joys were her 18 grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She delighted in their laughter, celebrated their milestones, and showered them with unconditional love.
Deborah's love extended beyond her immediate family to her many great nieces and nephews, including Cory Russo, Joseph Russo, Timothy Scott, Derek Evans, and Lynsie Evans, Nicole Russo whose lives she enriched with her kindness and affection.
Deborah is also survived by her beloved husband, Gene Evans, who stood by her side through life's joys and challenges, sharing a bond of love that will endure beyond this earthly realm. Additionally, she is survived by her sisters, Kristine Russo Teeguarden and Michelle Russo, and her brother Frankie Russo who shared a deep bond with her throughout their lives.
Deborah's love and devotion to her faith were unwavering. As a proud alumni of Judge Memorial Catholic School class of 77, she exemplified the teachings of her Catholic upbringing throughout her life. She carried her rosary with her until her last breath, finding solace and strength in her prayers.
Deborah's presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were touched by her kindness, generosity, and love. May her memory be a source of comfort and strength during this difficult time, and may we carry forward her legacy of compassion and selflessness in our own lives.
Rest in peace, Deborah Evans, knowing that your love will live on forever in the hearts of those who were blessed to know you.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, April 11 at 11:00 AM at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 4501 W 5215 S, Kearns. A viewing and rosary will be one hour prior to Mass. She will be laid to rest following mass at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, 275 “U” Street, Salt Lake City Utah. A wake will follow burial at St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church, 4914 S 2200 W, Taylorsville.

I can't take back the last time we spoke. I was gone over half my life but now I know she understands and I can't believe there was only ten years difference between us. She always was so beautiful and so are all her children and grandchildren. She will always be remembered and respected . The obituary was so beautiful I cried like a little baby. She made her dreams come true . A true matriarch. You will always be loved and respected and your life taught me ALOT I love you  uncle John Alfonso Russo's daughter  Lisa Marie Russo ( Archuletta)

My sincere condolences to the family. I am a co-worker of Debbie and worked closely as a Registered Nurse with her.  She was a Lady of integrity, honesty, loyalty and hard work. She loved her family very much. Last time I saw her was Thanksgiving day of 2023, she was very ill and was trying to stay alive to go to her dtrs wedding in Nevada. To her,  it was very important to be at the wedding.  Pt's and relatives loved her and frequently they asked for  Debbie to be the caregiver.    Every time I saw her going into one of our pt's houses I knew not only the pt but the  family was going to be well taken care of.  RIP My Dear Friend.
