Debbie Vetter Obituary
Deborah Ann “Debbie” Vetter, age 68, entered into her eternal rest on Friday, July 4, 2025, at her home in Kelso, MO.
Debbie was born to the late Howard and Sylvia Porterfield-McCommack on August 12, 1956, in New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Deborah never met a stranger. She had a wonderful sense of humor, loved meeting new people, and made a positive impact on those she knew throughout her life. She always had a smile and welcoming nature for everyone in her presence.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one sister, Carrie Lee.
