Jan. 14, 2018 – Germantown, WI – Debbie L. Colbert 56, of Germantown found peace on Friday, Jan. 12, 2018 at Kathy Hospice, West Bend.
She was born on June 2, 1961 to Franklin and Lorena (nee Vaught) Colbert in San Antonio TX. Debbie worked as a dietary aide at St. Joseph’s hospital and had accomplished graduating college at age 50.
She was an avid reader and liked fishing. Debbie liked helping people and always did things for others, she’d rather take on the burden of others and not make a big fuss about her. She was a very funny person, sometimes with an inappropriate sense of humor, and lived life to the fullest. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Those Debbie leaves behind to cherish her memory include her mother, Lorena Colbert; three daughters, Toni (Scott) Cline, Christine (Ryan Barnard) Kuczynski, and Kyrie (Brandon Meinen) Kuczynski; three grandchildren, Kiley Cline, Knox Cline, and Calla Meinen; a sister, Sheila (John Osowski) Colbert; two brothers, Scott (Jeanine) Colbert and James Colbert; her step-mother, Thu Colbert; other relatives and friends.
She is preceded in death by her father, Franklin Colbert and her brother, Roger Colbert.
A memorial service in remembrance of Debbie will be held on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2018 at 4 p.m. at the Myrhum Patten Miller & Kietzer Funeral Home, 215 Forest Ave., Kewaskum.
The family will greet relatives and friends at the funeral home Thursday from 2 p.m. until the time of service.
Memorials to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in Debbie’s name is appreciated by the family.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Kathy Hospice and all her team of doctors for all their help and care.
Debbie was a great inspiration to me and to others. She fought such a long hard battle but she fought right to the end. I will miss her encouragement and kind words and smile. My prayers are with her family at this time of great loss.
