Debra Jean Erickson passed into the arms of Jesus Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at the age of 67. Her birthday was her favorite day of the year October 11, 1955. She always requested 2 cakes, 2 jellos for the menu for her party. She loved hosting get together’s, making the coffee, running the mixer, doing puzzles, watching the show Everybody Loves Raymond , her kitties, especially Cali and decorating the house for holidays. She especially took pride in remembering where everything went from a year to year. She had a memory like no other and a heart of gold. She was never mad at anyone and happy every day. She was very fond of all the kids she helped babysit. She liked to tease her brother and was her sisters constant companion. She was a blessing to all and will be missed terribly. Debbie is survived by her brother, Dennis and sister Carol who were also her caregivers. Her cousin Nancy Saeger, her good friend Patti Maeder, relatives, friends and neighbors who loved her. Debbie met her mom Josephine and dad Morris at the gates of heaven and will live with them there for eternity. A Celebration of Debbie’s life will be held at the home farm in Arkdale on October 15, 2022 at noon. Lunch will be served after a short service.
A blessing to all -that was Debbie.

My greatest sympathy to you in the loss of such a loving sister. She was always so happy when we stopped over. I will never forget the time she spent doing puzzles with Tina.
I miss Debbie, and you have my heartfelt condolences. May the good Lord comfort you as only He can.
Sorry on your families lost
A beautifully written tribute to a beautiful soul. How “Litfle Debbie” enjoyed company & listening to the conversation. She was an amazing puzzle maker. She was cared for with evident love. Dennis & Carol, well done. You were her Life. I will be with you in spirit for her Celebration of Life. May God richly bless her memory.
So very sorry for your families loss, her wonderful personality and the times I stopped by the house and she would have to show me the puzzle she was working on was such a great time she will be greatly missed.
An angel for sure. Debi and my dad should have several puzzles done by now. My sympathy to you and thanks for taking such good care of her.
So very sorry for your family’s loss
