About	Debera (Debbie) L. Varney, Houlton, 59, passed away on September 17, 2015 with her loving family by her side. She was born May 15, 1956 to Carl and Louise Kirner at Loring Air force Base.

She graduated in 1974 from Houlton High School and went on to earn an Associate’s Degree from Thomas College in 1976.

Above all else, Debbie loved spending time with her husband, daughters, and grandson. She was extremely hardworking and caring, putting everyone else’s needs before her own. She loved being out in the sun, cheering on the Boston Red Sox, spending time with her dogs, and watching her grandson play sports. She could light up a room with her contagious smile and personality. Debbie is survived by her beloved husband Michael, daughter Amanda Varney, daughter Michelle Slike and her husband Levi, grandson Michael Fitzpatrick, father Carl Kirner, mother and father-in-law Janet and Hillis Varney, aunt Peggy Drost and her husband James Drost, uncle Al Friel and his wife Connie, sister-in-law Debbie Adams and her husband Dana, sister-in-law Judy Putnam and her husband Barry, step-sister Beth Sylvia and her husband Charlie, and several special nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
