She earned her LPN from Kirksville Vocational School and served the Kirksville area as a Licensed Practical Nurse at local healthcare facilities. On September 12, 1992, she married George Barlow. After marriage, Debi devoted her life to her family, Mary Immaculate School, and the wider Kirksville community, sharing her faith, kindness, and generosity with all who knew her.
She is survived by daughters Brenda Speaks (Anthony) and Jessica Meyers; son Kaleb Barlow; grandchildren Logan Wannepain, Joseph Berg, Kiley Speaks, Izabella Meyers, Adalyn Meyers, and Jackson Meyers; great-grandchildren Kai'Lynn Berg and Athena Berg; sister Lorrie Border (Michael) of Potosi; brother John Wannepain of University City, and brother Chris Lewis (Hillary) of Kirksville, MO.
