Debbie Sue Schwartz of Big Springs, was welcomed with open arms by our heavenly father on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at Mary Rutan Hospital, Bellefontaine, Ohio.  She was 64.

Born in Washington Courthouse, Ohio, she lived in Big Springs with her devoted husband, Thomas David Schwartz where they enjoyed 50 years of marriage.  Debbie spent her life supporting her family and community.  She was a person who opened her heart to every child at any time.  Debbie believed in Jesus and lived every day with a loving and kind spirit.  She enjoyed playing games, baking, and spending time with children.

Devoted mother of Tami Golliday (Steve), Emily Preble (Randy) and Thomas Schwartz.  Loving grandmother of Tatiana, Jessica, Brittany, Brady, Kaylee, and Hannah, Alex, and Nadia.  Debbie is also survived by three brothers, Dan, Michael and Robin Smith.

Out of an abundance of love and to protect the health of the community, the family has chosen to handle Debbie's services privately.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Big Springs United Methodist Church, 5636 State Route 274 E Rushsylvania OH 43347, whose congregation supported the family for over 40 years.
