Debra loved nature. The crisp morning air on hikes when we went camping. Tending to her flowers and rosebushes. Sitting under the gazebo with a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day, just listening to the rain drops falling around her. She always seems to have a project as well. Woodworking and carpentry fascinated her & she loved to build. She was always looking for the next DIY project to delve into. To relax, her favorite place to be was reclining on the coast, collecting seashells and watching the waves crash against the sand.

She was preceded in death by her father Edward Lee Clough, her husband Larry Scheer and one brother Ronnie Clough.
