Debra Lynn Wimp, (Debbie Cote Mitchell), 44, a former resident of Anchorage, Alaska, died Nov. 7, 2000, at Meadowbrook Place.
Her graveside funeral was at 2 p.m. Friday at Mount Hope Cemetery.
Pastor Roger Scovil of the Baker City Christian Church officiated.
Ms. Wimp was born May 28, 1956, at Bremerton, Wash. She was raised in Baker City and attended Baker schools.
She was a “rebel in pink.” With her quick wit and zest for life, she made friends easily. She loved to be surrounded by people and made many lifelong friends along the way.
Her friends and her sister, Brenda, are having a special celebration of her life in Alaska.
She never treaded lightly and always left a lasting imprint wherever she went. She was often found with a camera in hand taking pictures of anything that would stand still.
Her albums are full of memories of her love for her children, her family and friends. She liked the great outdoors and loved wildlife and scenery.
She found all that in the beauty of Alaska during a visit and returned there to live.
Survivors include her daughter, Carisa, and granddaughter, Jasyln of Gresham; a son, Christopher, of Pocatello, Idaho; her mother, Debbie Clelland of Baker City; sisters, LaDonna Ritter, and her husband, Steve, of Baker City, Teresa Francis of La Grande, Linda Couzens and her husband, Dan, of McNary, and Brenda Mitchell of Wasilla, Alaska; several nieces and nephews; and her special companion, Mike Jones of Anchorage, Alaska.
She was preceded in death by her father; a sister, Carol Jean; and her grandparents.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Mountain States Tumor Institute through Gray’s West & Co., P.O. Box 726, Baker City, Ore. 97814.
