Deborah Ann Winfield (Desotell)

Born June 28th, 1962, Death September 15th, 2025

Deborah or “Debbie” as she was known to many lived a full and happy life and was taken too soon.

She loved to draw and paint nature and generally just be outdoors enjoying her gardening and spending time on the water whether it was the beach or the lake.

Debbie also loved to take photos on her adventures whenever she could.

She was a trusted friend and confidant to many of her friends and family as well as the first to jump and lend a hand wherever she could to make sure those she loved knew she was there if they needed her always.

Debbie is survived by her beloved daughters Amie Judith and Kortnie Lynn (fiancé Joshua Armstrong), mother Judith Desotell, Uncle William Wolf Jr, brother Richard Desotell Jr, and father of her children Ray Winfield as well as many beloved friends and family.

She is preceded in death by her father Richard Desotell Sr, grandparents Marjorie and William Wolf Sr and Ines and Milton Anderson, and much-loved cousin Kenneth Kasten.

Services will be held in honor of Debbie on Sunday, September 28th, at 2pm at Bristol Woods Park Pavilion. The family has asked if you would like to bring your favorite photo of Debbie and a favorite memory to share with the family, please do. Food to be provided, dishes to pass are welcome.
