Debra Lynn Walden

Our Nanna; passed away the day before TWOsday Nov 18, 2024- AT 20:22pm at the age of 22+22+22; after fighting for every breath of life that she loves. Twice. Leaving behind a trail of laughter & unforgettable memories. Born in April 1958, She was preceded in death by 2 parents: Luella Pauline Drage and Kenneth W Drage. Deb lived a life full of humor- to get through the struggles, and full of hard work-to achieve accomplishments such as raising 3 girls, graduating college, owning a medical billing company, caring for lives through medical assisting & reception. She celebrated overcoming the smoking habit on 2-22-2022! Hers was a full life of endless wisdom and lessons that she passed on to us whether we asked for it or not, ‘Twice’ 22 times!

The #2 was more than her favorite number, it was her mantra- “everything is better TWOgether and TWICE as much!” She was the queen of TWO-liners, the master of puns, and had a blunt sense of humor that could make even the most serious person crack a smile, Twice, (and maybe offend the next). Her family fondly recalls her unforgettable Thanksgivings TWOgether and her annual April Fool's pranks!

Deb lived on 2 sides of the country before she married Tim in ’02 & settled in St. George 20 yrs ago. She earned countless scout merit badges, probably 22x22, & carried their bowling team, and loved life and all the tiny treasures therein, seriously, tiny things made her eyes light up! She also loved her career life; working with people and bringing smiles to their faces was her life’s passion! Thriving on human connection, she would have been happy to be paid in smiles and laughter and hugs. 

She is survived by her husband, Timothy Walden, TWOgether with her 3 daughters, her grandBABIES, great-grandBABIES, whose hugs, we know she already misses! Along with her family and friends who will forever miss her, not to mention her puppy Micah who surely misses the happiness they brought each other, especially in the dark days that tried to break her heart and steal her breath away. 

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE in Deb’s honor will be held on November 23, 2024, at 2:22 PM at 1509 Arena Roja Dr. Washington, UT. Please join us in remembering 22+plus+ tiny, precious moments of our lives with her.
