She is survived by her husband of 35 years, Richard Clark and her two sons, Pete Kinser (Melanie) of Denver, Colorado and Christapher Clark, of Independence, Missouri as well as two grandchildren, Kate and Avery Kinser of Denver, Colorado and her sister Mary Doctorman (John Baldwin), of St. Louis, Missouri and her brother William “Bill” Doctorman (Sharyl), of St. Louis, Missouri.
Debbie was preceded in death by her father, William Doctorman and her mother, Nellie Frances Doctorman.
“Grandma Debbie” was all heart. She’ll be remembered as a fiercely independent thinker, a devoted wife, a loving mother, a doting grandmother, and a generous friend. She worked in the Insurance industry for over 30 years in Kansas City. Debbie loved music and spending time with family. With a passion for quilting and sewing, Debbie gifted many of her family members and friends her creations. Each time we cozy under one of her beautifully sewn quilts or squeeze one of her handmade stuffed animals, we will think of her.
Debbie asked for those who want to remember her in a special way, that they donate in her memory to the Kidney Cancer Association. www.kidneycancer.org
