Deborah Jean “DJ” Mackmer

Deborah Jean "DJ" Mackmer, 62, of 13 Chestnut St., passed away, unexpectedly, Monday, December 22, 2014, at her home, following a brief illness. Born March 27, 1952 in Brockport, NY, she was the daughter of Clayton and Edna Cook Wallace. On December 8, 1973 in Collins Center, NY she married the Rev. Robert J. Mackmer, who survives.

DJ had grown up in Perrysburg, NY where she attended Gowanda Central School and in 1970 was a graduate there. She then went on to Roberts Wesleyan College, graduating with a bachelor's degree in Nursing. After graduating she was employed at several area hospitals as an RN. including Bertrand-Chaffee Hospital, Gates Memorial Hospital in Rochester and most recently Cuba Memorial Hospital. Moving to Belfast in 2001 where her husband was pastor of the Belfast Free Methodist Church, she enjoyed playing the organ in the church, and visiting with the many friends in the church and the Belfast area.

She enjoyed needle pointing and craft work making her own wedding dress. Also she very much liked to mow yards, traveling and country gospel music. But great love was for the Lord and for her family, especially her grandchildren.

Surviving besides her husband, Robert are a son, Paul S. (Terri) Mackmer of Phoenix, AR; a daughter, Rhonda L. (David) Miller of Arnold, MD; five grandchildren, Jacob, Lauren, Janelle, Evan and Jalene; two sisters, Elizabeth (Revere) Perkins of Springville, and Barbara (Russell) Shefrin of Colden, NY; and several nieces and nephews.

DJ was predeceased by a sister, Sharon Haggadone.
