We lost a beautiful and beloved woman this week. Debi Smith touched so many lives with her congenial, loving nature, great humility, and witty sense of humor. Things always seemed better when Debi was around.
She was an inspiration to her children and to anyone who was lucky enough to know her. To me, she was an aunt and what she called a "birthday buddy". February 25th has been our special day for 29 years. Every year going forward, I will celebrate the precious time I shared with Debi and the values she instilled in me about caring for family.
Dearest Aunt Debi, I wish that you find peace amongst God's angels! May you finally be free from the wretchedness of suffering, and be softly embraced by the love that is all around you.
We will all miss you, sweetest Debi...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I graduated from high school with Debi and always remember her as a fun-loving person with a funny laugh! "Only the Good Die Young..." |

Debi - my sweetest, dearest, best friend... For 34 years, since we met at 19, I've had the privilege of your special friendship. How I'll miss....our talks about life, work and relationships - heavy subjects as well as light, and a lot of laughs. I have wonderful memories of some of our day trips - to Lakeside (pretty much annually), Great Lakes Crossing/Canterbury Christmas Village, the Shipshewana flea market, Chicago during Heather and Steve's, and then Nikki and Chris' weddings, the American Indian Festival, the St. Catherine's festivals, etc. I can't begin to list all the fun things we've done through the years. You were so humble, thoughtful, generous, loving, fun-loving, and talented with cooking and crafts, always "going the extra mile" with holidays to make them extra special for the kids (and the adults)! You were so devoted to all family members, and opened your arms to our family (the Stawnys) as well (it was so fortunate when your brother married my sister for that is how we met)! I'll always remember the large gift platters of your assorted, delicious holiday cookies you passed out at Christmas time with love. Debi, I am so sorry you had to suffer so much with your illness - you, especially, did NOT deserve such a fate. You will be so deeply, deeply missed and you leave a lot of sad, broken hearts. My deep sympathy to Mike, your children and extended family members - I feel so sorry for all of us in the days and years ahead, having to live without you. Love, Rose |

Thank you for displaying your love for us and everyone around you by being present every day. Thank you also for being a quiet mentor through your selfless actions year after year. You lived your life with conviction and a respect for family that is rare to find today. Thanks to your influence in my life. I hope to imprint your way in my childrens' lives so that your kindness can live on. My only regret is that my daughter will not remember you. You will be deeply missed. Rest in peace my dear Aunt Debi! |
