Debra K Harter

Debra Kathrine Harter, 65, of Washington CH gained her heavenly wings on December 24, 2021, at the OSU Medical Center in Columbus.

Debbie was born November 12, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio to the late Russell and Phyllis (Brown) Harter. She was a member of the Unity Fellowship Church, where she assisted with the Children’s Church program. She was a thrift store regular, always looking for the deals she couldn’t pass up. Christmas was her favorite time of year. And while she knew the true meaning of Christmas, she loved shopping and buying gifts that she knew would bring happiness to her family. Jesus gave her a special gift this year, getting to celebrate his birthday with him in heaven.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Tish Hughes, brothers, Anthony (Infant) and Bobiejo Harter, and sisters, Sheilan Russell, InaIee McRobie, Melody Maag, and Talea Smith.

She is survived by her loving husband, Dewayne Marker whom she married February 28, 1998; her children, Don (Jo) Knisley of South Salem, Pauline (Rodney) Knisley and Tina Knisley (Joe Marshall) all of Washington CH; grandchildren; Shelby Knisley, Donald Knisley II, Elainie (Dylan) Havens, Dewayne Knisley, Dakota Knisley, Debra Smith-Merz, Cody (Leah) Seitz, Tamika (Chris) West, Shana Lyons, Ocean Marshall; many great grandkids; sisters, Elizabeth (Hank) Adkins and Kimberly Harter; as well as, her nieces, nephews, extended family and her many friends.
