Deborah "Debbie" Lynn Anne Ward

Debbie enjoyed motorcycling, boating, camping, and digging for treasures at estate sales. Debbie was a lover of animals (especially cats), and had many pets over the years; most recently, Jake and Lenny, who she spoiled and treated like her babies. Most importantly, she cherished spending time with her friends and her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her warm and inviting personality, bright smile, and kind heart will be deeply missed by those who knew her.

Debbie is survived by her husband of 28 years, Craig Ward; children Angie (Paul Musclow) Crofoot, Sarah Crofoot, Jameson Crofoot; stepdaughter, Autumn (Channing Sevigny) Ward; seven grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; mother, Doreen Harvey; mother-in-law, Trice Ward; siblings Barb Alexander, Lisa Harvey, Theresa Alvarado, Gayle Cox, Dave (Vickie) Burgon; and many extended family and friends.

Debbie is preceded in death by her stepdaughter, Amber Ward; father, Wayne Cox; stepfather, Lee Harvey; siblings Wayne Howkins, Valerie Cox, and Laura Ricard.

Visitation with the family will be held from 12-3 p.m. Saturday, June 6, 2026 at Cook Memorial Chapel (East Building) 4235 Prairie St. SW, Grandville, MI 49418. In memory of Debbie and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Feed the Children. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.cookcaresgrandville.com in Debbie’s online guestbook.
