Deb worked for D&S Totally Mobile truck repair service in Elkhart for over 14 years and had served the Osolo and surrounding townships as an EMT for Osolo EMS and Tri-County Ambulance for over 20 years. She enjoyed riding her Harley, detailing cars and swimming in the summertime, but her main focus was on her family, especially her grandchildren, and she tried to never miss any of their events or games. Deb was also a devout patriot, and whole-heartedly supported veteran-related organizations such as the Gold Star Mothers, Jessie’s Warriors and the Patriot Guard, just to name a few.

The family kindly request memorial donations to the Center for Hospice Care or Jessie’s Warriors. On-line condolences may be sent to the family at www.billingsfuneralhome.com.
