Debra Jo (Cellan) Senger was born July 3, 1954 to John and Milred (Hill) Cellan in Clarion, Iowa.  She graduated from Clarion High School in 1972 and continued her education at Iowa Central Community College.

Debra was united in marriage to Michael Senger on October 17, 1975 at the United Church of Christ Congregational in Clarion.

After raising her two sons, Deb ran the Clarion Movie Theater for many years.  She enjoyed meeting everyone and would talk anyone’s ear off.

Deb loved spending time with her family and would always put them first. She enjoyed taking care of them, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and recently building gnome houses.

She was always forgiving and lived by the rule, “always forgive because that’s how you love.”

Debra is survived by her husband Mike Senger, sons Jason Senger and Greg Senger, and grandchildren Cady Senger and Alaina Senger, all of Clarion; sister Dani (Jim) Kepler of Boone; brother David (Carrie) Cellan of Owasa; along with aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Debra is preceded in death by her parents and brother Doug Cellan.
