My wife of nearly 30 years, Deb (Hoskins) Siemers died at North Memorial of a brain injury on July 13, 2010 leaving her daughter Sarah (Bobby), her son Christopher (Kendra), her grandsons Colton and Jordan, her grandaughters Elizabeth and Alexis, and me Al Siemers behind. Born to Bob and Shirley (Mott) Hoskins on May 5 1960. Debbie cherished her large family: Shirley, Bobby (Nancy), Greg (Gail), Brian (Kaylene), Steve (Marcy), Tim (Sheryl), Scott, Sally (Norm), Bruce (Michele), Penny (Randy), Dennis (Kelli), John (Kim), father in law Dale Siemers, brother and sister in laws Craig (Julie), Randy (Sue), Dean, and many nieces and nephews and friends who adored her. She was preceded in death by her father Bob, mother in law Mary nephew Brandon. You could always count on Deb to be there for you, your family & friends. The most important thing in Deb's life were her family and going to family events . . . . where her nieces and nephews were drawn to her as if she was the pied piper. They all got their turn at "Debbie Camp" whey they knew she was in charge, but spoiling each one was the real goal. Her greatest gift was that of a caretaker. Debbie enjoyed boating, long car rides, sun worshipping, and her annual Girls Weekend at Sal's cabin. Her friends will always remember the one liners, million laughs, and that "tan fat always looks better than white fat." Debbie will be missed by all who were privileged to have known her. Al
