Debra Springer-Shaw Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John Flynn Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc. on Mar. 4, 2026.
Debra (Debbie) Jean Springer-Shaw, 62, passed away on March 2nd 2026, surrounded by her family.

Debbie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose greatest joy in life was the time she spent with those she loved most. She shared a lifelong love story with her husband and high school sweetheart, Steve, and together they built a life filled with laughter, loyalty, and unwavering devotion.

She was a proud and loving mother to her daughter, Stevi, and her son, Beau. Nothing brought Debbie more happiness than being "Gram Gram" to her three cherished grandchildren-Lanie & Oaklyn Shaw, and Elliot Lopochonsky. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them.

She also adored her beloved Yorkshire terriers, Motley and Nikki, who brought her constant companionship and comfort.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion that will continue to live on in her husband, children, grandchildren, and all who were blessed to know her.

Debbie will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In lieu of flowers, please plant a tree in her memory. There will be no services or celebration of life. She wanted her final resting place to be at home, so her remains will be scattered.

Messages of sympathy, stories and photos can be shared on Debra's memorial page, at: www.flynnfuneralhome.com.
