"DEBBIE"
KRIEGER, 51
Legal Assistant
WINTER HAVEN - Deborah Hill Krieger was taken from her loving family due to cardiac arrest on Friday, September 3, 2010, at the young age of 51.
Debbie was born July 12, 1959 in Augusta, Georgia to Marson (Happy) Hill and Bonnie K. Strine. She remained an ardent bulldog fan all her life. She was an avid fisherman and loved to outfish her husband. She was known for her thoughtfulness, kindness and honesty in all things and always did what was right, even when it was hard.
Debbie is survived by her husband and soul-mate, Jeff Krieger; sons Adam and Michael Berry; daughters Kandice (Micah) Stephens and Amanda Krieger, and granddaughter Siddalee Stephens; her mother, Bonnie Strine; four brothers; Jimmy Hill - Polk City, Rick (Kris) Hill - Orange City, Patrick (Mary) Hill - Ocala and Mike Hill - Winter Haven. She is also survived by her devoted in-laws; Donna and Bud Krieger; sister-in-law Shannyn (Bill) Talley and brother-in-law Patrick (Alissa) Krieger. She is also survived by 2 stepsisters and 3 stepbrothers and 14 nieces and nephews.
A 1977 graduate of Winter Haven High School, Debbie was a big Blue Devils fan and remained active in the Booster Club. Family was the most important thing for Debbie, closely followed by her devotion and loyalty to her friends and employers. The family would like to thank the staff at Winter Haven Hospital for their extraordinary effort to save our precious Debbie who was loved so much by so many.
A memorial service will be held at St Joseph's Catholic Church In Winter Haven, Florida on Tuesday, (Sept. 7th) at 10AM. Visitation on Monday, (Sept. 6th) from 5-8PM at Crisp-Coon Funeral Chapel.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the American Heart Association or the
Winter Haven Hospital Association.

Jeff, just seeing you two together was an inspiration. Debbie was so happy when I reunited with my soulmate and we married in 2008, especially because she knew what I was experiencing by what she shared with you. She co-hosted the bridal shower for me. I'm so happy you knew her love.
And Krieg, thanks for handing me the picture of Michael in his uniform and allowing me to add him to my "prayer wall" for our servicemen/ women in the Middle East. Knowing the last time we hugged was when you dropped by the office to visit, with the glow on your face and the happiness in your life, will always be the "picture" I will carry in my heart. You were a great buddy, friend and sister in Christ. It was an honor and privilege to share those few years with you. See ya at the house, Krieg!
