DEBRA COOK Obituary
Debra B. Cook, 69 of Miamisburg, passed away Friday, February 4, 2022. She was born on August 15, 1952, in Briery Branch, VA, to Joseph S. and Rosaline H. Foster. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Darrell L. Cook of Miamisburg; children, Charles M. (Tracy) Cook of Miamisburg, Joseph F. (Danielle) Boyd of Miamisburg, Bradley V. Boyd of Briery Branch, VA, Elizabeth J. (Chad) Hines of Miamisburg, Christy B. (Stephen) Stomoff of West Carrollton; sister, Linda K. (Andy) Anderson of Bridgewater, VA; seven grandchildren, Kaetlyne (Nicholas), Brock, Bryce, Payton, Kayla, Paige, and Parker; five great-grandchildren, Evan, Penelope Jo, Hendrix, Cherry Jo, and Rhiannon; and a multitude of loved ones. Debby was
preceded in death by her parents mentioned above; late
husband, Franklin H. Boyd; and brother, Bruce D. Foster.
Not only was "Debby Jo" an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother, she was also a dear friend and a second mom to countless others. Some of her favorite times were spent at
numerous sporting events for her children and grandchildren. Fall Sundays would find her cheering on her beloved
Washington Redskins. Debby was a talented and prolific quilter and heavily involved in the Miamisburg Quilt Guild. The outpouring of well-wishes and heartfelt stories the family has received from the many lives this woman touched has been humbling and gratifying.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM Friday, February 11, at Gebhart-Schmidt-Parramore Funeral Home in Miamisburg. In lieu of flowers, please submit donations to Good Works Farm in Waynesville, OH. Condolences may be shared at www.gebhartschmidtparramore.com.

My deepest condolences goes out to each of you! Growing up you you don´t always realize the impact your friends parents have on you, until you have your own child. It is then that you realize the friends you have had over the years & their wonderful parents. How kind they were to you and how truly blessed you were to have these other parents who treated you like you were part of the family. It is then that you strive to make your child´s friends feel the same welcoming in your home. Debby was always so kind and loving. There was a time when we ended up stranded in a bad part of Cincinnati- It was Bradley his cousin myself and my other friend. I was terrified! Bradley kept me calm and Debby came to the rescue. She wasn´t mad, she smiled and said, " Did you all learn your lesson?" Even a time skipping school because I had a horrible headache! She said her honey take this and drink that - you should feel better! She wasn´t mad just kind! I don´t remember a time without seeing a beautiful smile. I always loved hugging her- She reminded me me of my beautiful Aunt with that smile and sweet southern accent. My heart breaks for each of you! I have learned that with great love comes greater loss. She will be truly missed by so many! Sending my love and prayers to each of you!
