Debbie Whittier Obituary
Deborah Ann Whittier, 39, of Williston, ND passed away on June 18th, 2024. Debbie was born on July 13, 1984 to Steven Whittier and Katherine (Murray) Redenbaugh in Breckenridge, Minnesota. She spent all twelve years in the Williston school system before obtaining an Associate of Applied Science degree from Williston State College.?
From a very young age, Debbie developed a lifelong interest in outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing. Her musical talents were enjoyed by all as she sang in the church choir for many years as well as numerous weddings for friends and family. Known by those closest to her for her sense of quick whit and love of a good laugh, one of Debbie's favorite shirts she owned said "If we are in a 'don't laugh situation', don't look over at me!" Her beautiful smile could light up a room which was only surpassed in impact by her kind and loving heart.
Debbie will be profoundly missed by her children, Abigail Hodnefield and Austin Hodnefield; siblings, Brian Whittier (Jennifer), David Whittier (Michelle), Brenda Connelly (Leon); mother, Katherine Redenbaugh (Bruce); stepdad, Danni Thorpe; ?nephews, Alex Donovan, Cameron Whittier, Shane Kemnitz, Aaron Whittier, Nathan Whittier, Brody Connelly, Aiden Weisz, Dillon Connelly, Bryson Connelly, Gavin Weisz, Andrew Connelly, along with an extended loving family of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.?
She was preceded in death by her father, Steven Whittier; grandparents, John L. and Marjorie Whittier, and Robert and Frances Murray.
Debbie's greatest passion and accomplishment in life was being a devoted mother to her two incredible children. She poured as much love as she had into raising Abigail and Austin, finding great joy in attending everything from basketball games to county fair judging for 4H. They were the light of her life and represented her deepest pride and joy. Her memory will be cherished and live on in the hearts of those who loved her.?
Debbie's Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at 10 a.m. at the Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church in Williston, ND. Pastor Kevin Beard will officiate. A luncheon will follow the service.
