Debra S. Starcher

Debra S. Starcher, 71, passed away November 5, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of strength, faith and unconditional love.  

She was a strong, caring, and loving woman whose family, friends, church and faith in the Lord meant everything to her.  Never one to sit still, Debra loved being involved in her community and making a difference.  Above all, she was a devoted mother whose love was fierce and unwavering. Debra always made sure her daughter knew she came first.

Debra is preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Mary Starcher; and her husband, Bill Ramsey.  Debra is survived by her daughter, Rachel (Dwight) Barnett; two brothers; grandchildren, Tyler, Destinee, Electra, Mallory, and Jocelyn; and three great-grandchildren.  

Mom, there was a time when it was us against the world.  You always stood by me, and I will forever admire your strength and love.  I will carry both with me for the rest of my life.  Until we meet again, I love you! 

Debra retired from Akron City hospital as an office manager.  She had attended Goss Church and enjoyed church activities.  Debra belonged to a sewing group and enjoyed playing bingo.

Memorial service will be 3:30, Sunday November 15, 2026 at the Goss Church, 2247 11th Street SW, Akron 44314 with Pastor Tom Showalter officiating.
