Debi was a mother of 3 daughters, a grandmother to10, and great grandmother of 1. Our mother was known for her green thumb and love for gardening as well as her passion for Harley Davidson motorcycles. Mother spent many years riding with BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) and often would reminisce sharing her memories of time spent with loving friends she rode with who quickly became her family. Unfortunately, she herself became the victim of a domestic violence incident that resulted in severe brain trauma and left her with late onset dementia. Our mother was a headstrong, passionate, and loving woman who held on as long as she could. On March 10th she gained her wings and made her final ride to be with our Lord. She did her best to prepare for her leaving us; however, none of us were aware that she had paid on her life insurance for 21 months and the company will not pay out until the policy was paid for 24 months. We are graciously asking for any assistance that our family and friends would be able to give, anything at all would be GREATLY appreciated so that we may lay our mother to rest. All funds donated go directly to the funeral home for her services. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!

Peggy Sue Brown-Rice, the 55-year-old wife of Robert Brown, the mother of three sons, and a proud grandmother passed away on March 6. On November 27th, 2023, a biopsy showed an isolated cancer, that could be removed. Peggy and Robert anxiously awaited appointments, oncology consultations, and multiple ex-rays and scans, preparing themselves for the ordeal of surgeries and treatments, praying for a surgeon to take her case. Meanwhile, the rare cancer aggressively attacked, causing unbearable pain, and eventually she lost the use of her legs. When she was taken to the hospital on March 4th, x-rays showed the cancer had invaded her lungs. It was the end of all hope. The next day, she was taken by ambulance to the home of her son, and in less than 24 hours Peggy took her last breath. This family had no provisions for funeral expenses, and will sincerely appreciate any contribition. Please share.
