January 9, 1947 – April 11, 2025

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Deborah Jean Anderson Reed (Debi) on April 11, 2025. Born on January 9, 1947, Debi lived a life filled with passion, resilience, and an unwavering devotion to family.

Throughout her dynamic career, Debi thrived in many industries, from beauty products to movie production, tax consulting, and entrepreneurship. She built a highly successful business selling vintage and antique jewelry, blending her keen eye for elegance with her appreciation for history. Her work not only brought beauty into the lives of others but also reflected her own timeless sense of style and sophistication.

Debi was known for her fiery wit and sharp sense of humor, qualities that made every conversation with her unforgettable. She was a great listener, offering wisdom and warmth to those who sought her guidance. But above all, her greatest passion was her family. She dedicated years to meticulously crafting a family tree book that traced her lineage back to the 1400s, ensuring that the stories and connections of generations past would endure.

She leaves behind her beloved husband Bill, of 60 years, her children—Eric, Matthew, and Hana—and her grandchildren, Courtney, Kyle, Ethan, Noah, Micah, and Dezi. Her legacy lives on in the laughter, love, and strength she instilled in those she held dear.

Debi’s presence was a gift, and she will be missed beyond measure. Her love, wisdom, and spirit will continue to shine in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, you may make donations to the Maryknoll Brothers and Fathers. Debi had a deep admiration for the mission and work carried out by this organization, and contributions in her honor would be greatly appreciated. Your generosity will help continue the compassionate and meaningful work that was close to Debi’s heart. https://bit.ly/4jeeh8I
