Deborah L. Fink
AUSTINTOWN — Deborah Lynn Fink, 68, was born July 30, 1957, in Youngstown, to Gwen and Bud Crum, and was eternally reunited with her beloved husband, Rich, on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at University Hospital Surgical ICU in Cleveland, surrounded by her loving family.
Debby was a 1976 graduate of Austintown Fitch High School. She and her late husband successfully established The Print Fast Print Company in Boardman, where they both worked 18 years together.
She was a proud member of The Upper Room Ministries in Austintown. She was a devoted mom, grandma, and “GG Ma” who loved spending time and making memories with family.
One of her favorite pastimes was greeting neighbors and friends at her home on Halloween night, where no one left without a treat bag.
Debby absolutely loved volunteering her time for charitable events throughout the area and was lovingly known as “MAMA” Fink. There wasn’t a raffle ticket she couldn’t sell or a basket she couldn’t make! Anyone she met became family.
While at home, she enjoyed diamond painting, coloring and watching her family create memories.
She and her husband Rich were married June 19, 1982, and enjoyed 37 wonderful years of marriage.
She is survived by her kids, Charitee (Tina) Stevens, with whom she made her home, Rich (Kimberly) Fink of Greenville, Pa., and Dan (Michele) Fetherolf of Warren; her amazing grandkids, Kylee (Dassja), Makenna (Braden), Derick, Braydon and Brady; great-grandson, Grayson; her mother, Gwen; and five sisters, Candy, Sam, Kathy, Jackie and Mandy; along with her extensive extended family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Rich; her father, Bud Crum; and her nephews, Shayne and Georgie.
Her family would like to thank the amazing teams at University Hospitals, Cleveland and Portage locations. The level of care received by Debby was top-notch, and the staff always went above and beyond. We can never thank them enough for the care and compassion she received!
