Debra was born on February 22, 1955, in Dubuque, Iowa, daughter of Herbert and Elizabeth (Honerbum) McClain.

Debra graduated from Dubuque Senior High School. She was a hard worker and was employed with the Telegraph Herald, Mercy Family Pharmacy, which became MercyOne, and also with Stonehill Care Center. When she was able to find a little free time for herself, Debra loved to sit and quietly read a good book, crochet and put together jigsaw puzzles. She was a member of St. Mary’s Church until its closing when she began attending Sacred Heart Church. Her family meant the world to her and Debra always made sure that everyone knew how loved they were and that they were well taken care of. Debra will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
