Debra J. Bohn, age 70, passed away peacefully at home on Jan. 14, 2026. She was born September 26, 1955 in St. Cloud, MN to Richard and Joan (Rader) Dominik. She was a 1974 graduate of St. Louis Park High School. (MN)

Debbie's pride and joy in life were her children, TJ and Jenny. Her favorite thing to do while they were growing up was watching her kids play sports... from baseball to basketball to soccer to football to softball. She traveled all over the place rooting her kids on and somehow never missed making it to a single game! Outside of being a mother, she was an active and fun-loving woman who loved to play softball and bowl. Debbie was also a dog-lover and always loved having them in her life. Not only was she and incredible mother to her children but also to her dogs and granddogs.

Anyone who spent any amount of time around Debbie knew she loved the color pink! If she ever needed anything, it had to be pink... not just any pink though, it had to be the perfect shade. I'm even writing this on a pink MacBook! When her kids were younger all they had to do was look in the stands and they would find her in pink cheering loudly for them.

Her professional career included working as an executive assistant at NordicWare and Loram Maintenance of Way. When she moved to Johnston, Iowa to be closer to her daughter, she became the City Director for Jenny Craig and managed multiple sites in the area.

She is survived by her brother Richard (Laura) Dominik, children TJ (Jenna) and Jenny Bohn, and 4 grandchildren Scarlett, Henrik, Bode, and Orrin.
