Debra R. Bluebaum, 65, of Columbus, passed away on June 17, 2022 at Columbus Regional Hospital.
Debbie was born December 20, 1956 in Columbus, the daughter of Donald F. and Delphia Mae Chambers Lucas.
She retired from DSI in 2010 after more then 40 years of service. When Debbie was younger, she enjoyed target shooting, as well as riding motorcycles, even though she was too short to easily bring the bike to a stop. Most of all, Debbie loved her children, grandchildren, and pets. They were the most important thing in her life, and a huge motivation to fight her continuing health issues. She was an intelligent, outspoken, headstrong, quick-witted woman, who had a huge heart and was willing to help anyone she saw was in need. She will be deeply missed, and the memories of her life will be deeply cherished by everyone who knew her.
Debbie is survived by her daughters, Corrie Bluebaum of Columbus and Krista (Todd) Bluebaum of Greensburg; grandchildren David Walby, Devin Jones, as well as Kaitlyn and Cameron Bluebaum; sisters Donna (Steve) McCue of Westport, and Dee (John) Bridgewater of Rosette, Wyoming; an “adopted” son Brian Reynolds of Taylorsville; as well as 10 nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
