Obituary of Deborah Jane Rattler
Deborah (Debi) Rattler nee Linn
Deborah Jane Rattler, of Brooklyn Park and most recently of Pine city, MN passed away at the age of 70 after a brave and courageous battle with cancer.
Debi was always joking and making people laugh. She always had a smile on her face and a sarcastic remark at the ready. She was a kind and generous soul. She loved spending time outside and most especially at Mille lacs lake. She loved to craft, camp, fish and sit in the sun all day.
Most of her adult life she enjoyed serving disabled adults. She made them part of her life, it wasn't just a job to her. She would go out of her way to provide them happy experiences such as camping, proms, birthdays and holidays.
The last 2 years, in addition to her husband, her niece Jamie and her siblings, she was able to spend time with many of her nieces, nephews and her great nieces and nephews. We are so very thankful for the time we had with her, she will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by so many.
Debi is survived by her husband of 45 years, Wilson Rattler Jr; Daughter Heather (Richard) Ward; Son Wilson (Nicole) Rattler IIIrd; Grandchildren, Jaiyana Bentzin, Taylor (Andrew) Roberts, Chase Ward and 3 great grandchildren; Sisters and Brothers; Matt Linn, Kathy Martinson, Marcus (D Setterholm) Linn, Mike (Cheryl) Linn, Pat (Gayle) Linn and Mary (Jeff) Fjeld. Many Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, Aunts and Great nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by Parents Clarence and Beth Linn; Brother in law Bud Martinson and Sister in Law Barb Linn.
Funeral mass will be offered by Father Thomas Galarneault at Immaculate Conception Church of Pine City, MN on June 6th, 2025 at 11 am with Internment at Sacred Heart cemetery in Wahkon, MN
