Deborah married Kenneth Brower on December 18, 1971 in Rock Island, Illinois.  He preceded her in death on March 16, 2011.

Deborah loved being a nurse.  She was extremely dedicated and passionate about taking care of people. She retired from nursing in 2023.

Deborah also loved her family dearly.  She enjoyed following what they were doing, especially her grandchildren and their sports.  She was very independent and known to many as a "spit fire."  She was never afraid to voice her views.

Those left to cherish her memory include her sons, Kenneth L. (Melissa) Brower II and Kevin L. (Jackie) Brower; grandchildren, Jake, Jessica, Kendra, Kody and Kole Brower; great-grandchildren, Brynley and Barrett Brower; and sister, Juanita (Bunny) Hall.
