Deborah was a Christian and member of Bethel Baptist Church in Lonedell, MO. During most of her working career she was employed as a bus monitor in the Washington Public School District by First Student, serving the company for about twenty-five years. Deborah had a variety of interests throughout her life. In her younger years she would like to go fishing and bowling. She was very artistic and loved doing crafts. She also enjoyed sewing, quilting and playing cards. She loved to relax in the pool, work in the garden and if there was a snake in the yard, she’d find (or it would find her). She also loved to travel the country, especially to Yellowstone. What meant most to her was time spent with family. The love they shared and many precious memories they created will forever be cherished by them all. A kind and loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great-aunt, cousin and treasured friend, she will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her. Memorial services were held at 2:00 PM Saturday, February 5, 2022 at Russell Colonial Funeral Home in St. Clair, MO with Rev. Ben Kingston officiating. A private committal will take place at a later date. Memorials may be made to the Cancer Research Institute.
