Debra Marie Eckardt

She is survived by her and infinitely patient husband of darn near 50 years, Jim; her 3 wonderfully wacky kids; Erica, Erin, and Tim, and their very tolerant spouses; Craig, Jeremy, and Jackie. Her legacy will be carried on in the hearts of all of us, but especially through her 4 amazing grandchildren; Natalie, Timmy, Louie, and Dottie, who were the light of her life and provided her her favorite job of all time: Grandma.

Having been reunited with all of those she loved who have gone before her - her parents, Don & Dot, her fabulous sister Donna, her secretly bad-a** cousin Dolly, and her delightful, mildly-unhinged aunt Lil – there is no doubt a LOT of laughter and joy going on in one corner of Heaven!

Debbie was a kind and loving person to everyone she met and became an instant friend to many. She will be greatly missed by ALL who loved her, be they family, friend, neighbor, or even a stranger who might happen to be within earshot as she told one of her very animated stories.

A visitation for Debra will be held Sunday, August 24, 2025 from 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Alexander-White-Mullen Funeral Home, 11101 Saint Charles Rock Road, St. Ann, MO 63074. The funeral service will be Monday, August 25, 2025 at 11:00 AM, also at Alexander-White-Mullen Funeral Home.
