Debbe Paskowski 1970-2025
MADISON — With heavy hearts but joyful memories, we celebrate the life of Debra Arlene “Debbe” Tkach Paskowski, who left us peacefully on Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, at the age of 73.
Born in Youngstown, a 1970 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School, Debbe devoted her life to her family and community, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Debbe was a beloved wife to her husband, Joseph Paskowski; and a dedicated mother to her sons, Dustin (Sarah) Draper and Bruce Willis.
As a proud grandmother, she found immense joy in the lives of her cherished grandchildren, Shelby and Kyra Draper. Debra also shared her kindness and wisdom with her brothers, Denny and Drew Tkach, and sisters, Denise and Dawn.
Debbe was preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Arlene Tkach, and son, Bruce Willis. Her family was her world, and she nurtured each relationship with love and devotion.
A hardworking stock clerk at Walmart, Debbe was known for her unwavering dedication and friendly demeanor, which endeared her to customers and colleagues alike. Her contributions to the retail industry and the warmth she shared with everyone around her will be remembered fondly.
A celebration of Debbe’s life will be held to honor the joy she brought to so many.
The family will gather for a service and ceremonies on a day yet to be determined, where friends and loved ones will come to reflect on her remarkable life, share stories and support one another in their grief.
As we say goodbye to Debbe, we choose to remember her laughter, her kindness and her spirit that will forever live on in our hearts. May her memory be a blessing, guiding us as we carry her love forward in our lives.
Behm Family Funeral Home is caring for Debbe and her family.
