Debra Kay Dick was born November 28, 1952, in Windom, Minnesota to Harry and Thelma (DeVries) Dick. Growing up on the family farm in rural Jeffers, Debra was a 1970 graduate from Jeffers High School. Debra started her working career as a seamstress in Windom, but later worked for Wal-Mart, Cracker Barrel, and most recently was working at HTI in Hutchinson before her cancer treatments forced her into an early retirement. Besides her work, there were a variety of hobbies that brought her joy in life. As someone who loved to work with her hands, Debra enjoyed arts and crafts, as well as jewelry creation and sewing. As a musically gifted family, along with her sisters, Debra shared her vocal talents travelling to numerous area churches singing hymns with the “Dick Trio”. Debra was a member of the First Baptist Church in New Ulm. These memories and countless others will forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved her. Blessed be her memory.
