06/13/1957 – 12/23/2021

Debra’s biggest achievements. She was a mother of four children, that all graduated high school, some of us requiring buckets of water in the morning. She went back to school after 40 to not only get her GED but continued on to get a Bachelor degree in business from Webster University. Debra always had the backs of her co-workers and family, and stood up for what she believed in. She was equally as tough as she was loving, she strived for all around her to meet their full potential, even when we didn’t want too. You could count on her for everything, except getting a saying right.. She worked for 35+ years for Cigna. Being a grandparent was what brought her the most joy in life. Her hobbies were fishing, football, and spending time with family and friends.

Debra was preceded in death by her: two brothers Scott and Guy Buck, parents Fidelis and Ethel Buck, and in-laws Rowenna and Linda Howell. 

She left behind her: siblings, Glen, Del, Terry, and Tammy;  friend and father of her children Robert Howell; children Rick, Christy, Bob, and Lisa; and grandchildren: Shayna, Colby, Madison, Myles, Allen, and Rilynn.
