 Debra was born on August 23, 1956 the youngest of the 4 children of Joseph and Antoinette Stepanek in Rangoon, Burma where her father worked for the United Nations.

After schooling at The Ecole d’Humanité in Goldern, Switzerland, she went on to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant then later to become a Certified Nursing Assistant where she worked in home healthcare and inside of healthcare facilities.

When Debra had Ruth Jackson (Lucero), she decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Whether it was helping family or friends through difficult times or being an open ear to let someone just talk, she made it her mission to improve the lives of others. Debra was a passionate Christian and loved her church family as well as movies and spending as much time as she could with her 2 Granddaughters. We will miss her greatly.

Debra was preceded in death by Joseph and Antoinette Stepanek.

She is survived by Leandro Lucero, her former spouse; her daughter, Ruth (Lucero) Jackson and husband, Jarod; grandchildren, Elizabeth and Madison; brothers, Joseph “Joe” Stepanek and James “Jimmy” Stepanek; sister, Antoinette “Toni” (Stepanek) Shaller; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.
