Deborah Schanz Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debbie enjoyed going to yard sales and flea markets for hidden treasures. Most of all, she enjoyed the company of her family. Debbie loved her grandson, Dallas. She was the type of person to light up any room with her infectious smile. Debbie was a very happy person that went out of her way to help anyone.
She is survived by her significant other – Mike Russell of Tilden, IL; one son – James Theodore Edward Crain of Coulterville, IL; one grandson – Dallas James Crain of Coulterville, IL; six siblings – Deanna (Steven) Schewe of Alton, IL, Theodore "Teddy" (Pam) Meyer of Tilden, IL, Marie (Dean) Kamper of Blackwell, MO, Valerie Perotka of Godfrey, IL, Kenneth Meyer of Alton, IL, and Junior Crain of Carbondale, IL.
Debbie was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Robert Meyer.
Condolences may be expressed to the family online at www.heilschuessler.com.
Arrangements are pending with Heil-Schuessler & Sinn Funeral Home in Sparta, IL.
