Obituary

Deborah A. "Debbie" Stifter age 66, died peacefully on July 31st, 2021

Debbie was born on April 28th, 1955 in St. Paul, Minnesota and was adopted into the loving arms of her parents Orville and Irma Brink. She was baptized as an infant at St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Church in St. Paul, MN. Debbie graduated from Henry Sibley High School in 1973.

Debbie was married to Vincent Stifter March 15th, 1980 and became a mother to three boys, which she lovingly referred to as "My Boys." Debbie was employed at O. A. Brink Beverage Company (Grain Belt) with her father, Pallen Kimball, District 196, and Best Vendors Management before retiring. Debbie really enjoyed her various careers but her true calling was being a mother and grandmother. Debbie lived and breathed for her family and could always be found spending as much time with her children and grandchildren as possible. Debbie also had a passion for music (The Beatles), loved to dance, had the most impressive sense of direction, was huge history buff, enjoyed arts and crafts- as her grandchildren lovingly called her the "crafty grandma," and would travel any chance she got. Debbie will be remembered by her kind heart, devotion to her family, her fighters spirit, and sentimental nature.

Debbie is preceded in death by her Parents Orville and Irma and by her son Andy.

Debbie is survived by her loving family: son and daughter-in-law Dustin and Katie Stifter, son Tom Stifter; daughter-in-law Katie O 'Connor (wife of late-son Andy) and Ryan O 'Connor; grandchildren Gracie, Ike, Sully, Isla, Brady, Archer, Sean, Keira, and Quinn; sister and brother-in-law Joeyln and Paul Nielsen; niece and nephew Josie and Garen Nielsen; great nieces Maggie (husband Donovan) Carty and Carly Gruber; former husband Vincent Stifter and many friends.
