Deborah "Debbie" Ross, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), passed on July 29, 2024 in Dayton, Ohio. She was born on October 12, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois.
Debbie's journey through life was marked by her compassion and unwavering commitment to helping others. Graduating from Trotwood High School in 1972, she pursued a career as an LPN, where she touched the lives of many through her care and kindness. Her dedication to her profession was evident in the countless lives she positively impacted over the years.
Beyond her career, Debbie found immense joy in spending time with her family, especially her cherished grandchildren. Her love for them knew no bounds, and she treasured every moment spent creating memories with them.
One of Debbie's proudest accomplishments was her active involvement in the children's ministry at Rocksalt Ministries. Her faith guided her actions, and she found fulfillment in serving others through this ministry.
Debbie will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her loving husband, Kenneth D. Ross; children, Malinda (Joe) Brown, Miranda Childs, Kenneth J. Ross, and Michelle (Stephen) Adkins; grandchildren, Joey, Dacoda, Taylor, Brooklyn, Jason, Blake, Kabe, Khloe, Maliyah, Justice, Leah, Adia, and Everly; brother, Jeff Glaub; sister-in-law, Leanna Ross; and brother-in-law, Kevin (Neida) Ross.
Debbie is now reunited with her parents Harriett and Jerome Glaub and her granddaughter Kara Brown. While we mourn the loss of such a beautiful soul here on earth, we take solace in knowing that Debbie's legacy of love and kindness will continue to live on through each life she touched.
Services to honor and celebrate Debbie's life will be held at the Newcomer Funeral Home – North Dayton Chapel in Dayton, Ohio. A visitation will take place from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Monday, August 5, 2024 followed by a funeral service at 4:00 PM.
Debbie's memory will forever be etched in our hearts as we remember her for her warmth, generosity, and selflessness. May she rest in peace knowing that she made a difference in the lives of many.
