Deborah Lee Rzeszutek,68, of Conneaut, Ohio moved on to her heavenly home surrounded by her family on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

Debbie was born on August 12, 1955, in Conneaut, Ohio; the daughter of Richard and Eileen (Mackey) Neubauer. Debbie graduated from South Ridge Christian Academy in 1975. It was here that Debbie developed her singing skills, placing in a girl’s ensemble competition in Garland, Texas.

She married the love of her life, Steve Rzeszutek, on June 30,1979. They would go on to share 44 years together in marriage.

Over her working career Debbie worked at Ashtabula Regional Home Health as a Nurse’s Aide, traveling throughout the county. Debbie would go on to work for Ashtabula County Board of MRDD as a Workshop Specialist Assistant where she retired due to a disability.

For leisure Debbie enjoyed crocheting and reading. Debbie and Steve were blessed to be able to travel and go camping. They fulfilled a lifetime dream this past winter camping in the Crosby, Texas area to be close to their daughter Eileen.

Debbie felt blessed to be able to have lived 68 years and completed many life milestones along the way. At the age of 16 Debbie accepted Jesus into her heart as her Lord and Saviour. She looked forward to running into the arms of Jesus for a long reunion!
