Debbie MILLER Obituary
Debbie Jean Miller, age 66, of Centerville, Ohio, passed away Thursday, January 6th, 2022. She was born June 30th, 1956, to Woody and Ruby Brackney. Debbie is survived by her husband, Ed Delk; her father, Woody Brackney; her three sisters, Sherry Gross, Donna Hale, and Tammy Brackney; and her nephew, Shawn (Autumn) Gross. Debbie is preceded in death by her mother, Ruby Brackney.
Debbie owned and operated The Upper Deck Tavern for 25+ years. She was a pillar of the community, providing the Moraine/West Carrollton areas with the best little Tavern around. She also invested many years in working for, and on loving her clients at, MCBDDS. She was known for having an impeccable work ethic, often holding two jobs. Debbie had recently retired from URS with Montgomery County where she had been working as an infant/toddler caregiver. It was hard work but she loved spending time with "her kids" and always had a story to tell you about them. Debbie was very family oriented – often jumping at the chance to spend time with her sisters, whom she shared a close relationship with, her nephew, and great-niece and nephew. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.
Celebration of life to be determined. Arrangements entrusted to Sanner Funeral Home, West Carrollton.

My heart is breaking for Debbie´s family. We grew up as neighbors. But I got to really know Debbie through the Upper Deck. She was always happy to accommodate our teacher conference night dinner orders, even delivering when that wasn´t a `thing´. Debbie donated books, notebooks, papers, and folders to the West Carrollton schools several times throughout the years. She was always helping others. Rest In Peace, sweet Debbie.

I had the pleasure of sharing the Infant Room at URS with Debbie! She absolutely loved those babies!!! She nurtured them as if they were her own! We spent a lot of time in that classroom together and I wouldn´t want anyone else in the room with me except for her! Debbie, you will certainly be missed! I will always hold on tight to the memories we made, that stories we shared, and the love that was given to the children at URS but also myself!
