Debbie was born in Owosso, Michigan on September 15, 1954, the daughter of Peter and Jean (McKone) Krupp. She married Rick Reiss on June 22, 2016.
Debbie is survived by her husband, Rick; son, Corey Powell; step-daughters, Tara (Danny) Rowe, Nicole (Scott) Wescott, Sarah (Gregg) Kirk; grandson, Cooper; father, Peter Krupp; sisters, Yvonne Vrable, Shelley Wyant (Rich Swenson), Denise (Clark) Bentley; beloved canine companion, Dozer; and many loving step-grandchildren, relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Jean Krupp and brother-in-law, Carl Vrable.
Debbie doted on everyone she knew, starting with her son, Corey. She made sure he had mountains of Christmas presents, frequent trips up north and all the love and attention she had to give. When Corey's son Cooper was born, Debbie became over-the-moon in love with him, too. She enjoyed spoiling him and watching him play sports, especially basketball. Debbie played sports herself - she was on a softball league for many years, a bowling team and her most recent "team" - her beloved Bunco girls. Debbie was a fabulous cook and she made sure she delivered scrumptious homemade dinners to her dad every week. She had a wicked sense of humor and was always making everyone around her laugh, especially her dear "sissies." She was very close to them - Yvonne, Shelley and Denise - her shopping buddies. But her true happiness came when she met Rick, the absolute love of her life. Together they built a life surrounded by family, friends, relaxing weekends at their cottage on Henderson Lake and spending quality time with their grandchildren - especially little Henry, who they were privileged to babysit often. Debbie had everything she ever wanted and lived life to its fullest.
