Deborah (Debbie) J. Baize of Springfield, Missouri went to be with her Heavenly Father, on Wednesday July 22nd. She passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by family and friends.

She lead a rich and full life. Her largest focus was on family and being a mother and grandmother, and she excelled greatly in those callings. Her interests where broad and diverse. An unending seeker of knowledge and self improvement. A sacred follower of her Heavenly Father. She believe greatly in helping those in need and charity work. She truly had a servants heart and used her time to serve those in need, and continued to do so until she was no longer physically able.

In her youth, she enjoyed archery at a competitive level, was a skilled pianist and dabbled with the clarinet and dulcimer. The only inhibitor in her ever expanding interests was time itself.
