Jody Debus Obituary

With great sadness, we announce the passing of our sister, Jody Beth Debus, on December 22, 2024, in Phoenix, AZ. While in Arizona visiting her sisters, Jody became quite ill with kidney disease and died of resulting complications. Jody was 65 and is preceded in death by our parents, Turk and Betty Debus.

Her remaining siblings are Susan (John) Walker, Kerry Treland, Wendy (Paul) Staufiger, Kurt (Kate) Debus, Lori (Gary) Wernlund and Jay Debus, along with many nieces and nephews. Jody loved cooking and working on the most challenging crossword puzzles and she beat us all at any type of trivia. Please consider contributions to the American Kidney Foundation in memoriam of Jody. A memorial service for friends and family will be announced in the coming year.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
