Age 66, of Middletown, passed away at home Friday, January 17, 2025. She was born August 3, 1958 in Dayton, Ohio; the daughter of the late David and Barbara (Pilcher) Kline.

Debbie worked as a nurse for Hospice of Dayton for many years. She adored the many people she met and cared for along the way. Debbie had a love for collecting antiques, cooking and baking, collecting recipes, paranormal and ghost television shows, and spending time outdoors. She especially adored her animals-her dogs, Louie, Sadie, Lodie and her cat, PussPuss. Debbie was a doting and loving grandmother to her grandsons. She was very generous, always cooking and tending to her family. She will be dearly missed by her loving family. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be made at www.routsong.com.
