Debra was born on August 13, 1960 to Nancy Kay (Johnson) and Richard J. Mosbauer in Independence, Missouri. After high school Debra worked various jobs, however what she loved most was her time spent as a veterinarian technician with South Port Animal Hospital as her love for animals was endless. In life she was blessed with two children, Joseph and Amanda. She enjoyed swimming, taking vacations to the coast, traveling to Sturgis, South Dakota for the motorcycle rallies, watching Joel Osteen on Sunday mornings, and cheering on her Kansas City Chiefs. Above all she loved her grandchildren and spending as much time with them as she could.
