Debra Ann Henning

Debra "Debbie" Ann Henning, of Iron River, Michigan, was born on April 11, 1956, and passed away peacefully with her family by her side on April 14, 2026, at the age of 70.

Debbie spent much of her life caring for and feeding those around her, a reflection of her generous and nurturing spirit. She worked for many years as a cook and in the deli and bakery at local grocery stores. Many in the community fondly remember visiting Main Street Café, where they enjoyed her delicious, home-cooked breakfasts.

She found great joy in the simple pleasures of life-camping, sitting around a campfire, and spending time with loved ones, especially her lifelong friend, Marsha. Debbie loved the holidays, particularly Christmas. Her home was always beautifully decorated, and her Christmas tree was her pride and joy each year. She also had a playful, competitive side and delighted in winning her family's quarters during lively games of left, right, center.

Debbie looked forward to the Henning family's annual Memorial Day camping weekend, where she was always counted on to bring her famous pasta salads-especially her cucumber dill, a favorite among her nieces. She enjoyed listening to music and watching her favorite movie series, The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

Above all, Debbie deeply loved her family, even if she didn't always say it out loud. Her daughter, Jody, and her grandchildren, Allison and Mason, were her entire world.
