Deb died peacefully at Grace Edgewood on July 31, 2019 from complications of dementia. Deb was born in Shakopee, MN on May 13, 1949. After graduating high school from Guardian Angels she attended Viterbo College in La Crosse, WI where she met her future husband of 48 years, Tom. Later she earned her Masters as a reading specialist from UWEC and worked as an elementary reading specialist in the Eau Claire public schools.

The family would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the ADRC, the staff at Grace Edgewood, and the nurses of Interim Hospice Care for their care of Deb.
