Deborah Kay Horn Wilke Beesley, 47, died Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007, at her home in Columbia Falls.

She was born Dec. 20, 1959, in Great Falls to Merle and Delores Horn. Debbie spent a great amount of time making crafts. She loved to go to craft shows to see and sell her creations. Debbie worked as a CNA for 30 years. A very strong-willed person, she fought her cancer to the very end. She was determined to see her first grandson born, which she did. She thought the world of the new addition to her family. Debbie will be missed, but never forgotten, and remembered every day by all who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her son, Michael. Debbie leaves behind her husband, Tim, of Columbia Falls; sons, Joe and Jeremy; sisters, Dottie, Christine, and Roseanne; brothers, Larry, Doug, and Mervin; many nieces and nephews; and one grandson. She was a great wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend.

A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, 2007, at the Columbia Mortuary in Columbia Falls. The Rev. John Miller will officiate. A viewing, beginning at 11 a.m., will precede the service. Burial will be afterward in Fairview Cemetery.
