Debra Stacy-Feiler Obituary

Debra "Debi" Stacy-Feiler, 68, of Highland Beach, Florida, will remain in our hearts forever.

Debi was born into this world as a bright light on March 31, 1957, in Dayton, Ohio, and departed the same way on April 21, 2025.

Debi lit up a room like no other. Her presence was everywhere. She was pure magic and persuasive, to say the least. When she was passionate about a charitable endeavor, there were no goals she couldn't surpass. She was the expert at curating stunningly successful events for the George Snow Foundation, including the Cowboy Ball and Boca Ballroom Battle. The nonprofit said, "For over a decade, Debi dedicated herself to our mission, ensuring that young people in our community had access to the educational opportunities they deserved. Her passion and commitment left an indelible mark on the organization and the countless lives she helped shape. Her legacy will live on in the students she helped

and the futures she made brighter."

As the director of philanthropy for the Junior League of Boca Raton, she focused on its signature event, the Woman Volunteer of the Year luncheon, and dramatically enhanced fundraising efforts. "She was so committed to supporting local non-profits, and she will be greatly missed," said the Junior League of Boca Raton. Last year, she was appointed Director of Philanthropy for the Diaper Bank.

She also served on the TAG Ranch and Foundation board, bringing inspiration to the annual Cowboys with Heart fundraiser. She cared deeply about the mission to lift children higher.

Debi also served on the advisory board for the Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center at Florida Atlantic University, in honor of her late father.

She is survived by her mother, Gail Weir Robinson; stepmother, Shirley Trimborn; and beloved brothers Bruce R. Hilker (Carrie Gilbert), Chuck Weir, Peter L. Robinson (Mary Lee K. Robinson); niece Malia K. Robinson, treasured cousins, family, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bruce A. Hilker, aunt Sandy Haman, and stepsister Mindy Pohlabeln.

An ethereal beauty inside and out. Her genuine excitement was infectious. Her passion and love for family, friends, and the community were palpable. Her gift was her loyalty and compassion, especially for those she held dear. She left an indelible imprint on our hearts, and that's where she will reside forever. There are no words to express how many lives she touched.

She was a warrior and carried her sword like a badge of honor. Our butterfly is now free to spread her wings and soar.

"Time was not on our side, but we'll love again in a place where clocks don't tick." - Riderik

A private family celebration of life will be held at the ranch. If inspired, take to the beach with a bottle of bubbly to toast our dear Debi.

In lieu of flowers or trees, memorial donations may be made in Debi's honor to Florida Atlantic University's Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, Boca Raton's Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society, or TAG Ranch and Foundation, tagranch.com.
