Deyrup passed away on August 26, 2010 at Nyack Hospital at the age of 87. The designer, author and artist painted every day of her life, in oil and in water, and she made enamels on copper, but she was particularly talented in creating batiks.

Her three books on batik and tie dying are still used by students and artists.
