Debra Jean MURRELL

Debra Jean MURRELL, age 52 of Batavia, passed away at her home on October 30, 2011.

The body will be cremated. A memorial service honoring her life will be held at 6:00 PM, Thursday, November 3 at Kremer Funeral Home in Batavia, with Pastor Tom Shipley officiating.

Debra was born on March 8, 1959, the daughter of Benjamin and Roberta CLARK ALVINE. During her early years she lived much of her life in the Burlington area, before moving with her family to Batavia. She attended junior high and high school in the Cardinal School District, and graduated from Cardinal High School in 1977. She married Steve MOYER on November 6, 1976, and they had two beautiful sons, Arron and Brandon. They later divorced.

Those who knew her well remember Debb as having a larger than life personality. In her spare time she enjoyed shopping, particularly antiquing. She also loved animals, and rescued many dogs, cats, and the occasional goat over the course of her lifetime. In recent years she rediscovered her love of learning and spent time as a student at both Indian Hills Community College and Buena Vista University.

Debb married the love of her life, Larry MURRELL on October 22, 2002, and he preceded her in death in September 30, 2009. She was also preceded in death by her parents, and her beloved uncle Stewart CLARK.

Survivors include her two sons, Arron MOYER of Golden, CO, and Brandon MOYER and wife Ashley of Birmingham, and one sister, Robyn WYLDE of Portland, OR.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to one of Debb's favorite charities, Heartland Humane Society, PO Box 1149, Ottumwa, IA 52501.
