Deb was a 1972 graduate of Keokuk High School. She held several part-time jobs through the years but was mainly a homemaker. Deb enjoyed playing cards, going to flea markets, camping and vacationing with Gary, her mother, and her sister Marla and husband Bill for 31 years. Her daily walks with Gary were special to her. Deb and Gary were well known as caregivers to anyone who had a need and did so without recognition or praise. More than anything, she cherished spending time with her grandchildren and was someone who shared freely her love not only for her family but for the sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law and their families. Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 10 a.m. at Wilson Funeral Home in Kahoka with Pastor Dawn Butler officiating. Burial followed in the Hickory Grove Cemetery at Keokuk.
