Debra Ann Webster

Debra had a fun-loving nature and a quick wit that naturally drew others to her. She lit up with genuine excitement when celebrating the joys and accomplishments of those she loved, and in quieter moments, she had a way of making people feel heard and cared for. Her laughter was deep and contagious, carrying with it the inner child she held onto throughout her life.

She loved to crochet, creating everything from small crafts and coasters to blankets and hats. Her work reached far beyond her own home, with handmade pieces given to her children, grandchildren, friends, and even to those experiencing homelessness in the Valley. Many of those creations are still used and cherished today, carrying with them a tangible reminder of her generosity and care for others.

Debra shared a deep and enduring relationship with her partner of 35 years, Larry Keith Furlong. Through the thick and thin of life, they built a life together filled with companionship, playful teasing, music, and simple pleasures like picking up a favorite meal from Farmer Boys.

As a mother, Debra could begin the day by waking her children with a soft and warm voice, even during times when life itself was anything but easy. She worked hard to support and provide for them through many hardships and challenges. Through it all, she persevered and raised her children into adults who went on to build successful lives of their own. Her children carry with them both an understanding of the challenges she faced and an appreciation for the love, determination, and resilience with which she raised them.

Debra is survived by her longtime partner, Larry Keith Furlong, and her children, Joseph Forsberg Jr. and Leigh Anne Haslacker, along with the family and loved ones who will continue to carry her memory with them.

She is now in Heaven with Jesus Christ and reunited with her two precious grandsons, Wyatt and Joey. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is at peace and with those she loved so dearly.
