Deborah Meservey Obituary

Deborah "Debbie" Meservey, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sept. 15, 2025, in Saginaw, at the age of 70.
She was born on December 28, 1954, in Pontiac, to the late Helen Ida Michealson and Thomas Stanley Orlowski.
Debbie was predeceased by her husband, Gary Charles Meservey; her brother, Donald Orlowski; her niece, Tammy Dupuis; and her parents.
She is survived by her children, Paul (Jody) Lambert, Jeffry Lambert, Greg (Maria) Lambert, Lisa (Richard Purkey) Lambert, and Brandon (Kathy) Meservey; her grandchildren, Anthony, Desiree, Virginia, Micheal, Steven, Roman, Lilliana, Gabriel, Austin, Bryson, Landen, Caroline, Jordan, Mariah, Charlotte, and Seth; and her great grandchildren, Hunter, Jayce, Grace, and Jaymes. She is also survived by her siblings, Karen (Rick) Mithofer, Thomas Orlowski, Daniel (Cheryl) Orlowski, Kimberly (Robert Kurowski) Glowczynski, and Rhonda (Ed) Shervisch; along with many nieces and nephews.
On July 18, 1981, Debbie married the love of her life, Gary Charles Meservey. The love between two people living the biblical vows of marriage their open hearts to divine devotion to become, "one flesh." Gary to love his wife with selfless unconditional love, Debbie to show respect and godly submission to her husband. Together living, breathing in every aspect of true authentic, "soul mates."
Debbie worked in upper management at Better Made and later as a home health aide in the Sand Lake area, where she extended her compassion to the community. She was active in her church, joyfully giving her time to fundraisers and events. She loved gardening, hosting family and friends at her home in National City, and creating an atmosphere of warmth and welcome.
Her lighthearted spirit was captured in her favorite sayings, "You's guys" and "ya know," which brought smiles to those around her. Debbie also carried her faith close to her heart, and at the time of her passing, she held her favorite scripture:
"Because she loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue her; I will protect her, for she acknowledges my name."
-Psalm 91:14
Debbie will be remembered for her unwavering love, her faith in God, and her extraordinary ability to make everyone feel at home. She went above and beyond to help those in need, opening her home to anyone who needed a safe place to stay.
The family will host a Celebration of Life at her home in National City on Sunday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. All who knew and loved Debbie are welcome to join in honoring her life.
Her kindness, compassion, and faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Yesterday

Everything listed in Debbie's obit is spot on. She was so welcoming to anyone and she loved helping people. My time with Debbie at the Rose City Trinity United Methodist Church was surely a blessing. Her smile was contagious. Now you are in heaven, Debbie. Rest In Peace.
