Debra Lee (Keck) Handy

Debra Lee (Keck) Handy passed away unexpectedly on February 1st, 2016 and ascended to the pearly gates of heaven. She was born on November, 11th 1962 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Debra was preceded in death by her parents Kathleen and Joseph.  She is survived by her loving husband and best friend, James Edward Handy along with her 4 children; Michael, Joshua, Kristen, and Timothy. Mother Ilean; Brothers David and Clayton; Sisters Melinda and Michelle. Along with several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family. She will always be remembered for being the most caring, unselfish, and forgiving person anyone could meet. She consistently put others before herself and was always there for anyone needing a friendly shoulder to cry on. She was a friend of many and loved by all who met her. Her infectious smile and caring soul touched so many that her memory will live on forever. Her passions included caring for her loving husband and children, gardening and landscaping during the beautiful Michigan summers, and finding any reason to bake or cook a meal that would satisfy the harshest of critics.  A celebration of her life is planned for February 13th, 2016. Pastor Tom McMichael will officiate memorial services held at Gateway Community Church in Onsted, Michigan at 12:00 PM.  The Memorial service is open to all.  Following the Memorial Services her family will cortege to her final resting place, where she will be laid to rest at Lenawee County Memorial Gardens in Tecumseh, Michigan. Debra's Family requests NO FLOWERS.  In lieu of flowers, charitable donations can be made to assist family with memorial services and charity @ the address below:
