Deborah Ann (née Larson) Coleman passed away at the age of 64 at home surrounded by her family.

Debby loved plants and being outside. She was a lifeguard and reveled in being in the water. She was always busy cleaning or working on projects. She was feisty and funny.  She was strong and not scared to do hard things. She was determined to do things the way she wanted and knew that she could affect change. She never accepted just good enough. Her warm smile and jokes will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Josh Billings famously said, "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself," but he never met Debby. She was always eager to lend a helping hand to those in need. She was willing to give everything if it would help someone else, even a little bit. Her generosity and selflessness touched the lives of countless people and families over the years.

She worked tirelessly as a home health aide for many years. She brought real love and kindness to everyone she helped. She didn't only help people though. She was a bit of an animal whisperer and never met an animal that didn't see her beautiful soul and love her.  Debby always made sure her loved ones knew how much she cherished and appreciated them. Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will live on through her children and grandchildren, who will always cherish the memories they shared with her.
