Life story

Deborah Ann "Debbie" Herschelman of Troy, Missouri was born on Thursday, August 6, 1959 in Rolla, Missouri to the union of Paul J. and Glenna (Blue) Myers. She left from this life on Saturday, May 22, 2021 at her home at the age of 61 years.

Debbie was united in marriage to Eric Herschelman on December 18, 1998 in St. Charles, Missouri.

Debbie worked as a server for both the Blue Owl in Kimmswick, MO and for Olive Garden in both Bedford, IN and Wentzville, MO for many years. She enjoyed being outside doing yardwork and gardening. She loved to have family gatherings and kept her camera ready to take lots of pictures. Christmas season was a favorite time of the year where she could display her beautifully decorated Christmas trees with her collection of Hallmark ornaments. She also enjoyed sewing, baking and making crafts.

Debbie was a wonderful mother and she loved each of her children and made it known they were her sweetest blessings! Debbie and her family welcomed another little girl into their heart and home for a few years as her adoptive family, and Debbie always called Brianna her sweet baby girl. She loved to spoil her children and especially her grandchildren, her legacy will continue as her children keep that love and her memory alive for the next generation!

Debbie is preceded in death by her father Paul J. Myers; infant son Daniel Jacob Herschelman; father-in-law Wilbur Herschelman.

Those who are left to treasure her memory and to continue her legacy are her loving husband Eric Herschelman of Troy; four children Heather and husband Mike Obremski of Bourbon, Jennifer and husband Chris Wackel of Aurora, Colorado, Emily Herschelman and Kaleb Herschelman both of Troy; seven amazing grandchildren Alexis, Connor, Madison, Isabella, Jillian, Chloe and Evan; mother Glenna and husband Bob Taylor of Wentzville; one sister Paula Whitley of St. Charles and three brothers, Mike and wife Kelley Myers of Cuba, Patrick J.
