Debbie Joen Schmude

A daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, niece, and best friend was taken too early from us on October 22, 2010 in a tragic car accident on Hwy 10 on her way home for a Friday night Fish Fry with her family. At the tender age of 27 Debbie Joen Schmude left us with a departing smile. Debbie affected the lives of everyone she met. She was a prized member of Phi Omega Sorority, holding many executive positions including President for one year at Stevens Point.
