Debra was born May 27, 1962 in Elgin, Illinois, and passed away, Wednesday, July 27, 2022 in Elgin.

Debra was the loving mother of Rhiannon (Jeff) Amacher, Danielle (Travis) Banderob and Dwight (Karen) Sposato; loving boyfriend Stuart Bailey; dear daughter of Betty (Hummel) Parkhurst and the late Albert Parkhurst; fond sister of Diane (Don) Bator, Denise (Rick) Atchison, Dawn (Todd) Burkheimer; niece, Jackie and nephews Jason, Jordan, Justin, Michael, cousins, and many friends.

Debbie was a very spunky child.  Loved to get into trouble and see how much she can get away with.  She always joked around and made everyone laugh.  She went to college and opened her own restaurant, which was a huge accomplishment for her.  She worked in restaurant hospitality for over 25yrs.   Debbie enjoyed life and always wanted to have fun.  She loved to camp, bike ride, be by the ocean, hang with friends and always wanted to try new things.  One thing she was very proud of was her children and what they accomplished.  She visited all 3 of her children and enjoyed every minute of it.  Debbie was always the life of the party.  Debbie was a freaking awesome mom, partner and friend.  She is going to be miss tremendously.

In lieu of flowers, memorials will be appreciated to Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance
