Deborah Tovsen Obituary

Deborah Ruth Tovsen
Saturday, June 23, 2012, our family suffered a tragic loss. A mother, a wife, aunt, sister, and a dearest friend were her titles, but to those who knew her she was so much more. Born in North Carolina, Debbie spent most of her life in Montclair where she soon became a homemaker. She is survived by her husband Mark Tovsen, twin boys Mark and Michael Tovsen, brother Larry Engle, nephew Allen Engle, Mother in law Sherrie Moore, brother and sister in laws Ken and Jeannie West, Jim and Shirley Gillespie, Mike and Debbie Breslin, Carl and Kathy Chase, David and Paula Maestas, and countless numbers of nieces, nephews, and many more who knew her as "Mom." The service will be held at Shepherd of the Hills church in Alta Loma on 7/3/12 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, our family is accepting donations towards Debbie's final resting place. Donations can be sent to Mark Tovsen, in care of Wells Fargo Bank in Montclair California.
