Debra S. Krueger, 70, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2026, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, after a lifetime of courageously facing serious health challenges with unwavering faith and determination.

Debbie was born on May 23, 1956, in Clarkston, Washington, to Jack and Barbara Brown. She grew up in Clarkston, Lewiston, Spokane, and later St. Maries, where she graduated from St. Maries High School in the mid-1970s.

On February 26, 1983, she married the love of her life, Delmar Krueger, at the Foursquare Gospel Church in St. Maries. Together they built a life rooted in faith, love, and devotion.

Debbie was one of the strongest people anyone could ever know. Throughout her life she endured countless surgeries, illnesses, and setbacks, yet she refused to let them define her. Her strength came from her deep faith in God. She believed wholeheartedly in the power of prayer, accepted the Lord as her Savior, and leaned on Him through every trial. Even during her most difficult days, she found hope in His promises.

While she spent most of her life as a homemaker, Debbie treasured the two years she taught kindergarten at the academy of the Foursquare Gospel Church. She also had a creative spirit and enjoyed making stickers with her Cricut machine. Her home was always shared with beloved dogs, cats, and ferrets, each receiving the same loving care she gave so freely.

One of Debbie’s favorite treasures was a photograph taken when she was five years old, sitting on the lap of President John F. Kennedy, a memory she proudly shared throughout her life.

Although she never had children of her own, Debbie dearly loved her nieces and nephews and celebrated each of their accomplishments as though they were her own.

She is survived by her loving husband, Delmar Krueger; her sister, Carla Wilson of Maricopa, Arizona; her brother, Jerry Reinardt of Moscow, Idaho; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held on July 14, 2026 - 2:00 pm, at Woodlawn Cemetery, followed by a memorial service at the Assembly of God Church at 3:00 pm in St. Maries.
