Deborah “Debbie” Ann Krinke was a loving and generous mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.  She passed away at home on September 12th, 2021 at the age of 49.

Debbie was born Deborah Ann Harbour to Ann and Dale Harbor July 30th, 1972.  She met her husband, Tom Krinke II in high school English class where they became friends instantly.  Debbie and Tom went “off to college” separately and were reunited as employees at Deluxe Corporation and fell in love immediately.  Together they had two sons.  Debbie loved her family unconditionally.
