As a graduate of McCluer High School, Debbie embarked on a career as a dedicated and hard-working Administrative Assistant. Her commitment to her work was matched only by the devotion she showed to her family and friends, who were always her highest priority.

Debbie was the epitome of a loving and giving spirit, a quality that shone brightly throughout her life. She cherished the moments spent traveling with her family, creating memories that would be treasured for a lifetime. Her love for cooking and sharing delicious meals with her husband, John Sphar, was another testament to her nurturing nature and her passion for bringing people together.

Debbie is survived by her devoted husband, John; her beloved daughter, Cindy Willhoyt; and her two adoring grandchildren, Thomas Sodoma and Kobe Willhoyt.
