Obituary

With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Debra Nessel Baer on February 24, 2024, in Tallahassee, FL, after a brief battle with brain cancer. Debra, fondly known as Debbie, was born on June 11, 1954, in Camden, New Jersey, and lived a life full of laughter, love, and an enduring faith.

Debra was a woman of many talents - she was an avid crafter, sewer and floral arranger - and had an extraordinary personality. …

Personal note from Debra's Family

We know that many of those who loved our Mom will not be able to make her Memorial Mass for a number of reasons. Please know that we understand and also know that your prayers, love and support will be felt all around us as we gather at Good Shepherd to remember her on March 22nd. If you would like to send flowers in her memory, please do, or make a donation in her memory to Covenant Hospice Foundation if you are able. But at the very least, please share a memory or two with us of her that you have, so that we can keep those fond memories close and dear and everlasting.
