Debra Lee Koehler

68 of Chicago, Illinois and more recently Countryside, Illinois passed away on September14, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. Arrangements by Journey Cremations in Chicago.

In memory of Debra-Debbie-Dee Slawek-Wold-Koehler born January 11 1954, having passed on September 14, 2022. Just by her name, one can gather she could be complicated. Oftentimes she could be loud, opinionated, and intrusive. Most of the time she was caring, funny, and well-intentioned. She was the ultimate extrovert able to meet people and make friends wherever she went. Her friendships were life-long. Her love for her family was whole-hearted despite periods of disagreement. She had faith in Jesus and the Catholic church. She is survived by her mother (Angela Renski), her son (David Wold), her brothers (Dean & Tony Slawek), her beloved nephews (Sean & Joseph Slawek), and numerous others with whom she shared a family bond. She is also survived by her large extended families at Berwyn North School District 98 (Jefferson Middle School), Mendota Hills, and, the community of Country Club Woods. And, of course, her beloved animals Johnnie, Jackie, Kacey, Jeezy, Susie, and Bob. Rest In Peace. You are and will be missed dearly. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Jim & Pete’s Italian Restaurant, 7806 W. North Ave., Elmwood Park, IL.
