Deborah Ann Plewniak

June 16, 1959 - January 26, 2025

Sacramento, California - It is with great sadness to report that Deborah A. Plewniak (6/16/1959 1/26/2025) passed peacefully in her home at the age of 65 with her closest companions Brenda and little K9 Eddie by her side. She is predeceased by her father, Robert Plewniak and daughter Ashley Hamza. She is survived by her best friend and partner Brenda Shook, sister Terri Travis along with her husband Brian and children Erika (Joseph) Rogan and Tyler (Katie) Travis and their children, as well as Deborah's son's Nicholas and Alexander.

Deborah was deeply committed to learning and earned her BA in Psychology from Loyola Marymount University and JD from Lincoln Law school. She worked as a litigation paralegal until her retirement. She was known for her quick wit and sense of humor. Her laughter and compassion will be missed by many.
