Debra L. Harrison's Obituary
Debra L. Harrison, 70, of Dresden, died Thursday afternoon, June 15, 2023 at Genesis Hospital, Zanesville.
Born October 10, 1952 in Columbus, Ohio she was a daughter of the late, Richard and Charlene Werner and a 1970 graduate of Reynoldsburg High School. Debra was a retired school bus driver from Tri-Valley Local Schools. She was able to fulfill her passion of driving children for over 30 years before she retired. If Debra had a choice on bus numbers, her favorite was bus #15. Knowing this brings the family comfort that she passed on the 15th and that being her favorite bus number. Debra was an animal enthusiast, she loved visiting the Columbus Zoo and adored her cats, particularly Tigus.
Surviving is her husband of 51 years, Robert "Hillbilly Bob" Harrison, whom she married on April 8, 1972; two sons, Jason (Katerine) Harrison and Robert (Rachelle) Harrison; two grandchildren, Shalane and Dylan Harrison; two brothers, Doug (Marita) Werner and Dale (Paula) Werner and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Darran Werner.
