She was preceded in death by aunts, Juanita Dvorovy and Penny Shrewsberry; and uncle, Charles “Bud” Wilson.

Deborah lived a life full of energy, kindness, and generosity. She enjoyed traveling with “the girls,” riding her motorcycle with Rick, making crafts, and spending time with her grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life. She cared deeply for the environment and worked for HDRF, always encouraged by efforts to keep her community clean.

She worked for Foster Wheeler, traveling across the United States and serving at various power plants. Known for her strong work ethic and giving heart, Deborah was always willing to volunteer her time to help others.
