Deborah "Debbie" Ann (White) Orr

Deborah Ann "Debbie" Orr, born Deborah Ann White on March 18, 1957, in Topeka, Kansas, passed away on April 7, 2025, in Masury, Ohio. 

Debbie’s life was marked by resilience and deep familial bonds. Born to Donna Beulah and Jay Earl White, both of whom preceded her in death, Debbie grew up alongside her sisters, Diane White and Donna “Beatle” Davis. The loss of her sister, Beatle and later her beloved partner, William “Lace” Davis were profound moments in Debbie’s life.

Debbie was mother to daughters, Brandy Beckman and Kelly Beckman-Crabtree. She loved them fiercely until the end. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Breanna Clauser, Spencer Wilcox and Violet Crabtree. 

A special thank you to everyone who made Debbie’s final days comfortable. Harmony Hospice and the staff of O’Brien’s Nursing Home were very supportive. Her sister, Diane held her hand as she made her transition. Cousin, Ronda Bonekovic was instrumental in helping Debbie navigate life after her partner’s passing. Jonathon Davis was like a son to Debbie. His presence gave her the peace she needed to let go.  

Those who knew Debbie will remember her for the strength she carried through life’s challenges. Her presence will be deeply missed by those whose lives she touched.

May Debbie’s memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to your local Hospice charity.
