Debra Ann Thibodeau

Debra Ann Thibodeau, lovingly known as Debbie, passed away peacefully at her home on May 3, 2026, surrounded by the warmth and love of her family. She was born on August 31, 1959, and lived a life defined by quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.

Debbie was the wife of Ryan Thibodeau, with whom she shared a life built on love, partnership, and enduring commitment. She was a proud and devoted mother to her daughter, Jessica Levasseur Dahms and her husband, Russell Dahms. Nothing brought Debbie greater joy than her role as Grammy Thibodeau, and she adored her grandchildren, Chase, Julia, and Grayson, who were the light of her life. She was also blessed to be a great-grandmother to Joshua and Noah.

Debbie attended Presque Isle High School and went on to dedicate 20 years of service to Walmart, where she was known for her reliability, work ethic, and friendly spirit. She took pride in her work and formed long lasting connections with those around her.

Outside of her career, Debbie found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved the outdoors; whether it was enjoying the fresh air or taking in the quiet beauty of nature. Her greatest joy, however, came from time spent with her family, sharing stories, laughter and love. Her faith was also an important part of her life and she found comfort and community in the church.

In addition to her husband, daughter, and grandchildren, Debbie is survived by brothers, Dennis Koch, Eddie Koch and his partner, Lori McIntyre, and David Koch and his wife, Angel. She was predeceased by her parents, Ed and Ida Koch, whose love and guidance helped shape the woman she became.

Debbie will be remembered for her loyal heart, her honesty, and her tireless work ethic. She was kind and thoughtful in all she did, always putting others before herself. Those who knew her will forever hold close the memory of her gentle nature, a truly sweet soul with an innocent spirit that brought comfort and light to everyone around her.

Her presence will be deeply missed but her love will live on in the hearts of her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
