It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Deborah A. Gann, a cherished mother, and friend who left us peacefully on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the age of 68. Debbie was born on Sunday, February 24, 1957, in Bonne Terre, Missouri, and resided in De Soto, Missouri, where she touched the lives of all who knew her.

Debbie earned her Associate's Degree and devoted her professional career to the field of finance at GE Financial. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Debbie had a heart of gold, constantly offering kindness and support to others through her charity work. Throughout her life, Debbie found immense joy in her passions. She loved her dogs, Millie, and Sugar, who brought her endless happiness and companionship. Many afternoons were spent enjoying the serenity of her lakeview, where she found peace and inspiration. In her younger days, she embraced the outdoors through horseback riding and camping, and she had a unique talent for restoring furniture and antiques, breathing new life into cherished items.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond M. & Mildred (Neal) Gann, two brothers, Buster Gann and Pete Gann.

Debbie is survived by her loving son, Kenneth Gann, and her daughter-in-law, Becca Gann, who will carry forward her spirit of love and generosity. She is also survived by her brothers, Kenneth “Butch” Gann and wife Patty, Michael Gann and Dean Gann. One sister, Marilyn Despain and husband Jim. Along with several nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages contributions to Farmington Pet Adoption Center or a local animal shelter of your choice, reflecting Deborah's love and deep affection for her furry companions. Deborah A. Gann will be deeply missed but forever remembered for her kindness, spirit, and the love she so freely gave.
