On January 28, 2008, a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister and aunt, Debra Kathleen Voigt (Carazalla) joined her father and the angels in Heaven. Her time on Earth was too short and we look forward to when we will see her again.
Debbie was born on September 1, 1957, was a Wausau West Graduate and married Wayne Voigt Sr. on June 14, 1975. Debbie gave as much time and care to her family as she did to her work. She was employed with Wausau Benefits in the claim and life units, was currently employed as a sales associate at C.J. Banks and at WPS Insurance. Always a dedicated and hard working individual, Debbie was instrumental in developing an innovative claim processing system. She enjoyed working with her colleagues and found time to celebrate holidays by decorating her workspace the workspaces of co-workers.
Debbie was a lover of animals. She was mother to a number of horses, cats, birds, and dogs. She was especially fond of a pair of tiny Yorkies named Torrie and Teaka. Debbie was generous, kind hearted, supportive, a secret keeper, enjoyed a good joke, liked fishing, loved to shop, and took a lot of care and joy making her flower gardens beautiful around her home.
