Deborah S Bergren

March 16, 1949 — May 17, 2020

Deborah Sue (Hufford) Bergren, 71, of Mt. Pleasant, SC, passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 17, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Due to the restrictions placed on gatherings, a private funeral service will be held in North Carolina, where Deborah will be laid to rest at Lake Toxaway United Methodist Church.

Deborah was born in Lafayette, IN on March 19, 1949. Growing up a bright-eyed girl with her older sister, Jeri, she had a happy childhood. Debbie graduated from Lafayette Jeff High School and continued on to receive her Bachelor’s Degree from hometown Purdue University.
Deborah was married to Paul L. Bergren on June 12, 1971; they were happily married 48 wonderful years and lived a life of adventure. Deborah was a respected teacher, realtor, and most importantly an excellent homemaker for her husband and two boys. She enjoyed needlepoint, entertaining and feeding her family and friends, taking
in stray dogs, and travelling the world. She was actively involved in her church and was strong in her faith. Anyone who knew Debbie knows she had her own and very particular way of doing things and was quick with a smile or a helping hand.

Deborah is survived by her husband, Paul Bergren; sons, Doug, and Mark (Dawn); sister, Jeri Hufford; grandchildren, Kate, Molly, Jack, and Makena; in-laws, Walt and Linda Bergren; niece, Holly (Michael); and her sweet dogs Gracie and Homer.
