Debra Ann Danielson, age 67, of Wabeno, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly with her family by her side on July 27, 2025, at her home.

Debra was born on September 27, 1957, in Laona, Wisconsin, to Floyd Wamego and Mildred Engels. She was united in marriage to Douglas Danielson, who survives her.

Debra was a woman of deep love and unwavering strength. She cherished her family above all and was especially proud of her grandchildren's education and accomplishments. Her home was filled with warmth, laughter, and often, the joyful presence of her beloved dogs.

A source of strength and inspiration, Debra took great pride in her sobriety and lived each day with grace, resilience, and compassion. Her legacy of love, perseverance, and faith will continue to live on through all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Douglas Danielson; daughter, Donna Whitefish; son, John Danielson; grandchildren, Ethan Whitefish, Kawhi Davis, Dayton Olinger, Destiny Whitefish, Elaina Cortbine, Mackenzine Danielson, Jonathan Danielson, and Jaden Danielson; and great-grandchildren, Lena Olinger, Sage Olinger, and Malia Olinger.

Debra is also survived by her sisters, Flossy St. Clair, Denise Huettl, Tina (Tom) Leonard, Pam Daniels, Susie Wakeman, and Sylvia (Harold) Moss; and brothers, Dean (Eunice) Whitefish and David Engles.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd Wamego and Mildred Engels; her brothers, Orville Whitefish, Arlen Wamego, Peter Engels Jr.; and her sister, Annette Whitefish.

A visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at Sunnyside Community Church in Carter, Wisconsin, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of services at 1:00 p.m. Pastor Ben Larson will officiate.

Debra will be dearly missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely and the strength she showed so courageously.
