About Deborah K. Schumacher, 58, Clyman, died Saturday, Nov. 14, at her home after a courageous battle with cancer. A memorial service will be held on Friday, Dec. 4, at 1:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 719 Territorial Road, Clyman.

She was united in marriage to Lee A. Schumacher on Sept. 2, 1978, at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Watertown. She was a 1975 graduate of Watertown High School. Debbie was an integral part of the family business P.L. Gehl Memorials in Hartford. As a graphic designer, she helped to create beautiful lasting memories for countless families. She was very proud of her work and customers loved her. Debbie loved to fish (making sure everyone knew she had the biggest catch!). She loved boating and spent many weekends camping with her family and friends. Sitting around the campfire was always a highlight. She was preceded in death by her father, Jerry "The Big Kahuna;" mother- and father-in-law, Robert and Anna Schumacher; brother-in-law, Cal "Bomb" Schumacher and sister-in-law, Terri Kretschmann.
