Debra Lynn Smith (Debbi), 63, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at home with Jesus in her heart and her family by her side. She was born in Green Bay, WI on July 11, 1952 and is now resting safely in the arms of our Lord - after a 5 month battle with lung cancer.
Debbi worked at Central Snowmobile for 15+ years. She later attended NWTC and graduated with an Accounting degree (high honors) in May 2012.
She enjoyed her cat (Piggy), flowers and monkeys. She also enjoyed watching the Packers and NASCAR.
Debbi is survived by her three daughters - Michelle (Alan) Urban, Chrissy (Sherm) Tonnon and Destiny Smith; four grandchildren - Brandine (Brandi) Kessler, Alex Urban, Kyle Bachmann and Kaitlyn Flauger; two great grandchildren - Oliver Styczynski and Haven Hayes; seven siblings - Steven Senechal, Beckie Verhagen, Terry Senechal, Lonnie (Mayeth) Senechal, Thomas Senechal, Michele Senechal Saldana and Jean (Dan) DeJardin; parents: Marcella and David Senechal; and further survived by her aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Per Debbi's wish, there will be no service.
The family would like to thank the staff at Unity Hospice (especially Tara, Lori and Rikki), Dr. Ruth Warren and Linda for the special care and support they provided.

Her Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of her as gone away—
Her journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrow and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched…
For nothing loved is ever lost—
And she was loved so much.
