Debra Brewer Obituary

Debra Lee Brewer

July 8, 2025

Debra Lee Brewer, retired 20-year USAF veteran, known to those closest to her as Debi or "Lady", passed away Tuesday, July 8th, 2025. She died peacefully at home with her children and best friend.

Debi was an inspiring woman with an insatiable appetite for knowledge and expanding her world view. She loved to travel and discover new experiences and spent much of her energy seeking to understand the history of places. She shared these traits with her children, Billy and Genny, who spent their childhood being global travellers and students of the world.

Debi is survived by her children William Morris and Geneva Louise. Her love and devotion to her community will be remembered by many, especially by the veterans with whom she worked ("her people" as she called them).

I did not know her but I want to thank her family for the 20 years she gave to our country. I know you are proud of her. I too am a child of a veteran. May God bless you and God bless America
