She had been an accountant for almost 30 years for the former Bawden Brothers and then Von Hoffman Company.

Since she was a little girl, Debbie had a love for horses, reading and in her later years, gardening.

Survivors include her daughter Jackie (Robert) Shields, Waverly, KY; son Scott Hughes, Davenport; grandchildren Zoe and Lily; sisters Jeanine (Steve) Slyter, Blue Grass, Rebecca Noyd, Silvis, IL, Roberta Radech, Bettendorf; step mother Betty Roggenkamp, Davenport; uncle Robert “Bob” Roggenkamp, Eldridge.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

She wrote a poem for loved ones who have passed before her:

“Picnic in the Sky”

The food’s home made

The fishing good

The cards always lucky

And faces always friendly

And of course Red Cake!

May she rest in peace.
