Debbie Ann (Sander) Wallace
1969 - 2022
Debbie Ann (Sander) Wallace, Plainville, passed away on June 22, 2022, in Hays, Kansas at the young age of 52 following her battle with cancer.
She was born to Delbert and Rita (Baxter) Sander on October 22, 1969, in Plainville, Kansas. She was blessed with three children: Deven, Dylan, and Dayton.
Debbie grew up in Stockton where she graduated with the Class of 1988. She then furthered her education at Manhattan Vo-Tech and was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. She went to work for KDOT as an engineering recruiter and worked there until her untimely passing.
She was a proud and involved mother to her three children and was always supporting them in whatever venture they wanted to pursue. Debbie enjoyed time with her friends, family, and her boyfriend Jeff Albert and his grandkids. She loved adventures with Jeff and her friends, spending time outside, attending K-State football games, or looking for new places to eat. Debbie spent time at home perfecting her no-bake cookies and French toast recipes, while watching movies (particularly Hallmark), and loving on her dogs.
She was a devoted follower of Christ and through the hardest times she would lean further into her faith with daily devotionals, Bible study, and prayer. Her unwavering faith and will to live for her friends and family was unmatched. May we take every day as a blessing, learn to cherish the ties that bind and the time we have with the people we love.
Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Delbert and Rita Sander of Stockton; children, Deven Wallace of Overland Park, Dylan Wallace of Manhattan, and Dayton Wallace of Plainville; brother, Doug Sander (Mikki) of Olathe; a sister, Danette Kerns (Butch) of Plainville; and nieces and nephews that were a huge part of her life, Gunner (Claire) Kerns of Fairway, Gabe and Gracie Kerns of Plainville, and Jordyn Sander of Olathe.
