Debra “Debbie” K. Voelker, age 64, of Abbotsford, passed away unexpectedly surrounded by her loving husband and family on Friday, January 7, 2022, at the Marshfield Medical Center.

Debbie was born on May 25, 1957, the daughter of Norman and Agnes (Stoiber) Danen in Marshfield. She graduated from Colby High School. On September 5, 1981, Debbie was united in marriage to Steven Voelker at St. Louis Catholic Church in Dorchester. She was employed at Abbyland for the past 20 years.

Debbie enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and bowling with her husband in a mixed couple’s league. She especially enjoyed working in her flower beds at home and at the family cabin.
