wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, niece and friend, passed away from
Multiple Myeloma on Saturday, July 16 surrounded by loving family.
Debbie was born in Washington DC and raised in Pocatello, Idaho where
she grew up with lots of extended family. She graduated in Soda
Springs, Idaho and started a job soon after at Union Pacific Railroad.
While there, she met her sweetheart and husband David Rogers. Together
they had their sweet daughter Whitney. As a family, they loved sharing
meals, playing games, cheering on the Huskers and traveling.
Debbie was an amazing cook and expressed her love by sharing meals,
recipes and goodies with her family, friends and neighbors. She was a
dog lover and enjoyed crafting, scrapbooking, and gardening. She was the
center and heart of her extended family because of the time and love she
gave to others through thoughtful and encouraging words, cards and gifts
that she sent to everyone. She will be sorely missed by all who knew
her.
She leaves behind her husband David, daughter Whitney (Mark) Schmaltz,
mother Shirley Carver, sisters Sherrie Springsteed and Tammie (Dallas)
Archibald, father-in-law John Rogers, sisters-in-law Marnie (Rod) Price
and Cindy (Marv) Steely and many other relatives and friends. She was
preceded in death by her grandparents, a few aunts and uncles, dear
friend Pat Hines, best friend Patches, mother-in -law Carol Rogers, and
father Leonard Seegrist.
Debbie’s family would like to thank Dr. Michalski and the gracious staff
at the Nebraska Cancer Specialists for their expert and compassionate
care.
