Debra Kay Meusburger, age 66, of Pocahontas, Iowa died September 19, 2025 at her residence in Pocahontas.

Deb was born November 1, 1958 to George and Shirley (Holster) Mathews in Kittery, Maine. She graduated from Albert City – Truesdale High School in 1977.
On December 10, 1977, Deb was united in marriage to Allan Meusburger at United Methodist Church in Truesdale, Iowa. To this union, two children were born: Elisha and Tonya.
In her younger years, Deb worked with elderly and mentally and physically handicapped adults. She was employed at Buena Vista Manor, Buena Vista County Farm, and Tyler Hope DAC. Deb enjoyed serving her community and was a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader. You could find her familiar face in the crowd at all of her children's activities. In her later years, due to Deb's failing health, she could no longer attend their activities. She treasured when her grandchildren came to visit and tell her all about what was happening in their worlds. Deb will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
