Deborah "Debbie" Bogard, was born on May 19, 1961, in Fort Hood, Texas, and passed away on May 10, 2026, in Merom, IN. A dedicated homemaker, Debbie embraced family life wholeheartedly. She married her husband, Billy E. Bogard Jr., on June 3, 1983, marking the start of a lifelong partnership.

Debbie is lovingly remembered by her two daughters, January Dawn Wills (Doug) and Lacy Lynne Bogard (Chad), who were the center of her world. She is survived by her siblings: sisters Wendee Teel (Terry), Lesa Wolfe (John), Terri Bowen (Bobby), Lori Wade (John), and brother Dwayne Grimes. Her family blossomed further with grandchildren Alec Tatom, Ethan Purcell, Mariah Wills, M'Kenzie Wills, and Addison Purcell. Debbie’s joy extended to great-grandchildren Awbrey Tatom, Maverick Purcell, Blakely Purcell, and Asher Howard, as well as several beloved nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carol Frances Ebeling and Floyd Grimes. Debbie’s warmth and devotion will remain in the hearts of all who loved her.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.
