In loving memory of Deborah (Debi) Ann Steiger whom passed suddenly at John C. Lincoln Hospital on June 30, 2025. Debi was the daughter of Robert Sr. and Margaret (Bonnie) Steiger, both deceased; and survived by brother, Robert Jr (Becky). She was also survived by nieces Debbie and Linda of Buffalo, N.Y.; and nephew Aaron of Denver. Debi was born and raised in Buffalo and graduated from Annunciation H.S. where her many friendships continued over the years. She went on to college and obtained her degree in Business Management and made the National Dean's List. She made a career in accounting management. In 1980 she moved to Phoenix and made many new friends while never forgetting her old ones. She was loved by everyone she met.

We all love you Debi. God bless!

Debbie was kind and so easy to talk to. We knew each other in a more professional manner but we instantly got along. I enjoyed listening to her stories and looking at her photos. She was so proud of one of her wedding dresses she made. Debbie liked to color as I do and she colored a page for me. I still have it hanging up. So glad we got to know each other. She was a true light in my day.

We had many laughs and many cries together. I miss her everyday!!! I will never ever forget you Deb!! She was a true friend and was so BLESSED to call her my friend. I pray for strength for her family to get thru these days of sorrow. Debbie, you forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you my friend, you are greatly missed.

Debi was truly the dearest and kindest of friends....Her integrity, compassion, loyalty, and generosity will never be forgotten...I was blessed to enjoy this friendship since we were 13 years old, with never a cross word between us.... She will be missed every moment of every day. She is surely among the angels, and will be remembered with the love she so truly deserves....
