Deborah A. Musson (Yaya) was born in Des Moines, IA on October 14, 1953 and passed away peacefully surrounded by family on November 15th.
Everyone who was lucky enough to have even smiled Deb's way became an immediate friend. She cared for and loved anyone that came into her life and never forgot them. She was always cracking jokes and making people smile, even up to the very end. She fought through a very strong and courageous battle with cancer never wanting to give up.
Deb retired from AT & T after 38 years of continuous service. Thereafter, she worked part-time at the City of Wadsworth's department of communications. She was preceded in death by both of her parents, Raymond and Genevieve Erickson. She is survived by her children, Joe (Jennifer Hanz) Musson and Jennifer (Benjamin) Juengel, her sisters; Patrice (Art) Richards, Susan (George) Marketos, and Kristin (Ernie) Wolke. She will be greatly missed by her loving grandchildren, Luke, Joshua, and Sophia. She was also blessed to have many wonderful nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews whom she cared for dearly.
