Deborah Zachman Obituary

Debbie was born January 22, 1992 in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. She passed away to eternal rest on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Debbie and her twin brother Daniel attended school one year at St. Michael Catholic School until the family moved to Winsted, Minnesota in 1999. Debbie attended Holy Trinity Catholic School in Winsted. Later, she transferred to Glencoe Silver Lake High School (GSLHS), where she excelled in her studies and won special recognition and awards for her artwork. She also loved being a member of the high school choir under the direction of Mrs. Wilson, participated in the PSEO program and graduated with honors from GSLHS. She worked at Subway, Coborn's, and Kid's Company Daycare in Watertown.

She met Brian Zachman growing up as the two families have known each other for many years. In 2015, Brian and Debbie were engaged, and married October 17, 2015. Debbie started a cookie making business called DaiZy Delights and had many followers and customers of her famous artistic and delicious cookies. They had five beautiful children whom she loved dearly with Elroy being the oldest, then Maxwell, Cecelia, and Jacinta, and the beautiful baby who died during Debbie's traumatic brain bleed. Debbie loved life. She enjoyed showing her children the fun things life had to offer from making crafty meals, to throwing fun parties, and teaching them about Christ and our true Catholic faith. She enjoyed family time and loved to attend family events. Everyone who met her loved her because of her sweet personality and beautiful smile.

Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Brian; four children, Elroy (9), Maxwell (7), Cecelia (4), Jacinta (3); parents, Stephen and Lisa (Dreher) Moosbrugger; parents-in-law, Elizabeth (Huber) and Michael Zachman.
