Deborah J. Bachman, 59, passed away gracefully at home on January 8, 2013.
She was a member of the Eagles #555. Deborah retired from Graves Lumber after 40 years of service. She loved music, going on vacations with her husband, spending time with her grandchildren, the Cleveland Browns, and she had a very green thumb; she could make anything grow.
Preceded in death by her parents, James Smith and Dorothy Black. Survivors include her husband, Jerry, of 8 years; daughter, Sarah (Brandon) Morrison; step-children, Matthew (Sara) Tawney, Amanda (Linden) Moore, Shelly (Joe) Forte, Sandy (James) Schultz, and Jerry Bachman, II; brother, Jeffrey Smith; 15 grandchildren; and many close friends.
Special thanks to Hospice of Summa for their care and support during Deborah's illness.
Calling hours will be Friday, 5-8 p.m., at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron, where a funeral service will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. Interment to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park.
