Deb was a housekeeping supervisor at Elkhart General Hospital for 37 years. She was a member and volunteer at Elkhart Northside Nazarene for many years. Deb loved listening country and southern gospel music. In her spare time, she enjoyed watching The Hallmark Channel on Saturdays and her beloved Fighting Irish and Alabama “Roll Tide” football.

Deb was a “bubbly”, strong-willed woman who had a laugh that could be best described as contagious. She was an amazing mom, whom always put others before herself.
