November 11, 1955 — September 10, 2022

Debbie was born to Dale and Lieta Johnson on November 11, 1955. Debbie grew up on a ranch south of Julesburg. She fostered a great love of horses and cherished her time on the ranch. Debbie graduated from Revere High School on May 26, 1974.

Debbie had worked in housekeeping for several years as a caregiver, home health aid, and seasonally at the sugar beet factory through the years. She always worked hard, but what defined Debbie most suitably was the kind of mother she was.
Debbie was dedicated to her children. Though there was never any doubt about how much love she had for them, Debbie was unequaled in her supportive zeal when it came to their events.
Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, in-laws Ernest and Lois Blake.
