Deborah Lee Obituary
She is proceeded in death by her mother, Pamela Lee, her brother, Brian Lee, grandparents Paul (Evelyn) Lee & Luther (Marjorie) Watring, as well as Aunts and Uncles Marilyn Dunkler, Roberta Lee, Ronald Watring, and Richard Watring.
She is survived by her devoted father Roger Lee, siblings Tim (Donna) Lee, Cindy Lee, and Phillip Lee. Nieces Amanda Lee, Amber Lee, Kayla Myers, and Danielle Lee. She also leaves behind two grand-nephews Codi "CJ" Pell and Ethan Gilbert as well as many other beloved cousins, family, and friends.
Deborah, lovingly called "Debbie" loved all things Elvis Pressley. She loved horses, word search books, and watching movies with her little brother Phillip. She had a warmth that could light up a room and enough sass to keep you straight. Her heart and comforting smile will forever be missed.
The family would like to thank Seasons Nursing and Rehabilitation in Stow for caring for her for the majority of her life and for allowing a beautiful reunion between herself and her brother Phillip who joined her there.
There will be a private urn burial, followed by a small celebration in the coming months. In lou of flowers, donations can be made to to the spastic paraplegia foundation in Deborah's name (https://sp-foundation.org/get-involved).
As quoted in Elvis Presley's hit "Love me Tender"; "Darling, this I know, happiness will follow you everywhere you go".

My sister Debbie was a kind loving person that would never hurt anyone. She had a difficult life dealing with her disabilities but she would always smile and never complain. Her laugh could light up a room. She lived the best life she could under the circumstances and through it all never lost her faith in God. She liked simple things like search a word and in your younger years she handmade kitchen towels to give out to the family members at Christmas and they were beautiful. I will miss you Debbie and I know you are happy again seeing mom and free of all the constraints you had to deal with and overcome. I love you more than you will ever know.
