of Naylor, AR
October 6, 1955 - November 10, 2024
Our dear sister, wife, mother, nana and friend, Debbie, passed from this life to spend eternity with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a clear star-filled Sunday night, November 10, 2024.
Debora Jean Krumbach, 69, daughter of the late Thomas P. and Lila Mae Eck of Naylor, AR was born October 6, 1955 in Conway, AR.
She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Thomas ''Krow'' Krumbach; son, Luke Krumbach and grandsons, Braxton, Lexon and Jaxon Krumbach. Her brothers, Tom (Betty), John (Judi), Joe (Kathy), Jerome ''Bo'' (Terri) and Robert Eck. Her sisters, Margurite Russaw and Patricia ''Cricket'' Moix (Scott) and several nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. Debbie is also survived by her dog, Hank. He was her constant companion and guardian which she loved dearly.
She is preceded in death by her parents and her son, Michael Newberry.
Debora was a cherished sister, loving wife, mother and BEST NANA EVER! Before becoming a cattle farmer and homemaker, Debbie worked at Ward/Amtran and Klassmeyer Construction.
She would do anything she could for her family and friends. She reached out to many in the community and helped them through the years. She was a good neighbor. Debbie was a past president of the Mt. Vernon-Enola PTA and advocated for improvements in the schools to make life better for the students. She was a big fan of the Warhawks basketball team and loved watching her nephews play along with the other boys on the team, one of her thrills of the week! She was also a faithful member of the Enola Volunteer Fire Dept for many years. She was quick to alert you of a ''burn ban''. When her health didn't allow her to go out on runs, she continued to monitor the alarms and helped with what she could until she turned in her radio. She would not miss a chance to dress up and have tea parties with her niece, Emily and Granny.
She enjoyed reading a good book whether it was a hardback or kindle and sometimes would re-read them again. Debbie loved collecting Rooster figurines, big ones and rustic antiques, with hopes they were going to be worth a lot of money someday.
Debora will be greatly missed.
There will be a visitation at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home on Saturday, November 23, 2024 from 2:00pm until 4:00pm. A private ceremony for family will be held at a later date.

Krow, Luke, and kids,
I am heartbroken about Debbie's passing. She was an incredible person—so full of energy, spunk, love, warmth, and kindness. Her smile literally lit up a room.
She was the first family member that I really got to know when Bo and I started dating and she welcomed me with open arms. She loved all of "her boys" with such a fierceness and I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. . Family events will never be the same and I will always cherish my memories of Deb.
Sending you all my love and strength during this heartbreaking time. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

There are no words to describe Debbie, believe me she had words to say, whether you wanted to hear them or not! She was witty and couldn't wait to tell you a joke she heard. She loved to see people smile and laugh! Not only was she my sister, but a friend that I could call to tell her all about my kids and what was happening in their life! There will be a void now you're gone, but there was a saying we use to say to each other in trying times...I LOVE YOU AS BIG AS TEXAS!

Deb and I grew up together and I have such wonderful memories of those times. Hanging out at Mt Vernon, basketball games, camp outs, going swimming on hot summer days. We did each other’s hair and makeup, went on double dates, laughed and cried together. Things you never forget. She was a second mom to her younger siblings and loved her family dearly. Heaven gained a sweet new resident. Love and Gods comfort to Luke and the family.
