Deborah Louise Onufer also known as Debbie O, Mom, and Grandma was born on June 13 1951 and gained her angel wings on October 27 2025 with her oldest son Brandon by her side at hospice. She was a mother to two sons Brandon J Williamson, Erick R Williamson, and was a grandma to Brianna L Wiliamson.
Debbie showed her unconditional love for people, she cared for others, helped others, and always looked out for others. Debbie was people's book of knowledge. Debbie was always staying positive in a negative circumstance, she loved and valued life, and she would put everyone before herself.
Some of her favorite things are flamingos, Christmas, hallmark TV shows. Debbie liked watching football, the teams she enjoyed rooting for were the Lions, Browns, and the Bengals. Some of her favorite memories were banging pots and pans with her granddaughter Bri on new years, going to Dollywood with her family, the birth of her granddaughter,sliding down the flood wall, getting lost in Kroger, going to the opening reds games and going to belle island. Some hobbies she loved were playing phone games, sewing, coloring and cooking.
She loved her sons and granddaughter unconditionally. Mom/Grandma was a truly loving caring soul and will truly be missed. She always said " you gotta have faith" Debbie O.
John 16:22 "Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."
