Debra "Debbie" Victor, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones, August 30, 2025. She was born on July 28, 1953, at Fort Monmouth Army Base in New Jersey, to Lucille (Witt) and Charles Nelson.
Debbie was the youngest of four children. Her brothers Rick, Randy, and Bill protected her fiercely, a bond that only grew stronger after the passing of their father while he was serving in the U.S. Army. Together, they built their lives around an extraordinary family nucleus in Klamath Falls, where love, loyalty, and resilience were the cornerstones of daily life.
In 1972, her life changed forever the day she met William "Bill" Victor-a moment of instant and undeniable connection. Their love story blossomed into a lifelong partnership built on faith, laughter, and devotion. Together, they raised two daughters, Mandy and Billi, and built a family rooted in compassion, loyalty, and unconditional love.
Debbie gave generously of her time and talents to her community. She volunteered for many years with Klamath Falls City Little League, where she became a friendly and familiar face, cheering on countless kids from the sidelines. She also dedicated over 32 years of service to Klamath Falls City Schools, where her hard work, kindness, and steady presence left a lasting impact on students and colleagues alike.
Debbie is survived by her husband Bill, her daughters Mandy (Warren) Mitchell of Palmer, Alaska and Billi Victor of Klamath Falls, and her cherished grandchildren: JJ Hughes (fiancée Saydee), Jacob Hughes, Ruthie Mitchell, Almaira Mitchell, Honna Mitchell, Charlie Mitchell, and Shaylee Wright. She was also blessed to welcome a great-grandson, Casey, who brought her immense joy. She has countless nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and many cousins who all mean the world to her. Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Lu and Charles, and brother Rick.
Those who knew Debbie will remember her as the steady center of the family-a woman whose love was both fierce and tender, whose faith carried her through life's challenges, and whose joy could light up even the darkest day. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild were her pride and joy, and she never missed an opportunity to remind them of how deeply they were loved.
She leaves behind not only her family, but also countless friends who were touched by her warmth, humor, and generosity. While her presence will be deeply missed, the legacy of her love will carry on in every life she touched.
A celebration of Debbie's life will be held September 20, 2025 at Wiard Park starting at 10am. In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to Operation School Bell.
